COMMENTS: Rampant Complexity
In international news, CBS sent Allen Pizzey to Sudan to monitor aid distribution to the three million refugees of Darfur. The World Food Program's policy is to donate aid directly to women in the region's camps. Women are more likely than men too use food to feed their families rather than to sell it. Pizzey followed the program's executive director Josette Sheeran on her inspection tour. She must work with the Sudanese government, despite its sponsorship of the janjaweed militias, those responsible for the ethnic cleansing of the villages in the first place. Pizzey explained that the conflict is "more complex" than just the janjaweed: "More than a dozen militias run rampant throughout Darfur, each with its own agenda and paymaster."
