Sudan: This wolf is real

In the tale of the boy who cried wolf, it was the boy himself who suffered the consequences of his actions. This time, it’s two million people in Darfur, writes Salih Booker, executive director of Africa Action. Writing in Foreign Policy in Focus, Booker says the role that the United States played in crying wolf about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq has a direct impact on the current humanitarian crisis in Sudan. "It will be the cruellest irony and the greatest tragedy if the people of Darfur cannot count on the international community to save them from genocide because the country that's the most outspoken against Khartoum is a country that lost its credibility because it cried wolf."
