Sudan Burning

Well, now that they United Nations has estimated that illness and hunger alone may have claimed the better part of two hundred thousand lives in Darfur (but it's not genocide), they've finally found the real problem.

Thousands of elephants are being killed in central Africa to supply an illegal ivory market in Sudan, a report says.

Dr Esmond Martin, who led the research, said three-quarters of the poached ivory ends up in China - now the major market in the world for ivory.

He said he has visited 50 shops in Khartoum and Omdurman where ivory is being illegally bought and sold.

He says the trade in ivory is being openly conducted and threatens the very survival of the elephant in Africa.

Well, we can't save the hundreds of thousands of innocent Christians who are the victims of wholesale murders by Islamofascist thugs, but let's get right onthe ball with saving those elephants!
