This news lends support to Eric Reeves’ prediction of grim times ahead in Darfur:
The United Nations refugee agency says it is being forced to cut its relief work in Darfur because of continued insecurity in the Sudanese region.
It said its 2006 budget for Darfur would be revised downwards by 44%. […]
The security situation is so volatile that aid workers cannot get to those in need.
Humanitarian convoys are being targeted, the agency said in its statement released in Geneva, and access to large areas of west Darfur is severely limited.
The refugee agency had been concentrating its work on west Darfur where there are currently over 650,000 internally displaced people.
But the increased violence means that work is being scaled down.
