2008-08-02T02:47:06Z

The United Nations African Mission in Darfur has been touted as the largest peacekeeping operation the UN has ever undertaken.

But six months after forming, the joint force is suffering from a shortage of troops and a lack of equipment.

Furthermore, authorities are threatening to expel them if the International Criminal Court indicts Omar al-Bashir, the Sudanese president, for alleged crimes committed in Darfur.

Mohammed Adow joined a group of peacekeepers on patrol in Southern Darfur.

Obama in Israel

2008-08-27T11:45:27Z

As the UN highlights the humanitarian crisis a mile away from where Senator Obama chose to celebrate "Sderot" on his Middle East tour, Afshin Rattansi interviews an analyst in Gaza.
SDEROT, Israel — Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama says it's in the interest of Israeli security to arrive at a lasting peace with the Palestinians, and called Iran the biggest common threat to U.S. and Israeli security.
Obama spoke at a press conference in Sderot, near the Gaza border. The city has been a frequent target of rocket attacks from Palestinian militants. Shards of rockets were in stacks behind Obama as a reminder of ongoing attacks.
In Obama's words: "America must always stand up for Israel's right to defend itself against those who threaten its people."
He also said that Jerusalem will be the capital of Israel, but the issue should be dealt with by the parties involved. Obama had raised eyebrows earlier in the campaign when he raised the issue; Palestinians also consider Jerusalem as their capital city.
And in an apparent show of friendship, the mayor of Sderot gave Obama a T-shirt at the end of the press conference. Also showing it to the pool of reporters, the shirt read "I [heart] Sderot." Piercing the center of the heart appeared to be a missile.

John McCain Town Hall Meeting 11/27/07

John McCain
Town Hall Meeting
Anderson, SC 11/27/07

TRANSCRIPT:
JOHN MCCAIN: "If the Chinese want to block action in Darfur, we should act together, if the Russians want to continue to block action to stop the Iranians from developing nuclear weapons we should act together, and impose trade, economic, diplomatic, banking, financial, other sanctions on Iran to try to bring them around to stopping what they're doing. ISo, I would gather these nations, it may not be as formal as some other but I would get these nations together . . . major European financial institutions are extending unlimited lines of credit to Iran; obviously because they're gonna get paid back with oil. If we really put up severe, severe restrictions on Iran it might have some beneficial effect. At least it ought to be tried. The only way I think we're gonna be effective is without going to the UN Security Council."
