Did I dream this?
As the summer holiday recedes further and further into memory, as it is wont, I am haunted by a strange half-remembered fragment of a radio news story that I didn't hear the whole of, one morning. It appeared to say that the African Union were sending peace-keeping troops - from Rwanda - to the Darfur region of Sudan, to help prevent the feared genocide there.
It's the strange lack of comment on this, or any suggestion that anyone else thought it bizarre, or possibly some sick satire, that makes me think I must have dreamed it while wandering bleary-eyed to the bathroom.
But I suppose it's no stranger really than many of the other real events in the world.

Indeed, the AU is sending peace-keeping troops to Sudan. I'm not sure whether they're from Rwanda or not, though...
Perhaps the best website I know for information on the Sudan situation is Passion of the Present -- I recommend it highly.
