It disappointed me recently to hear the UNAMID commander and Mr. Gration say it's no longer war and no longer genocide in Darfur. There's still a LOT of pain like this being created there and backing down the international pressure is a huge disappointment. This brings to mind a touching point in the documentary Invisible Children where a young boy started to recall his friends who were killed by the LRA and he wept very much the same way.
