Main parties sign Darfur accord
I am cautiously optimistic about the new peace agreement in Darfur.

Cautious, because the fighting and killing will not stop overnight, there are still millions of refugees who are in danger of starving to death in camps, and I'm worried that the world will conveniently forget them.

I'm also worried about who will oversee and confirm that the Janjaweed militia has indeed been disarmed.

I'm worried that rebel factions will continue to slaughter innocent people indiscriminantly.

I'm worried about a withdrawal of aid once peace is in place.

I'm worried that the people driven from their homes, will never be repatriated.

I'm worried that a generation of people will dissapear from the face of the earth, if in fact, they haven't already.

This is the first, small step towards peace in the region. Not a solution.

I'm worried.
