Is the genocide in Darfur a story made up by the US just like Iraqi WMDs. Some seem to think so. The theory is that we don't like the Sudanese government and are hyping the situation over there to get the international community to act against it.

US 'hyping' Darfur genocide fears

'I've been to a number of camps during my time here,' said one aid worker, 'and if you want to find death, you have to go looking for it. It's easy to find very sick and under-nourished children at the therapeutic feeding centres, but that's the same wherever you go in Africa.'

Note of Warning - when reading anything in the Guardian it is best to wear environmental hazard gear.

Unfortunately, I haven't been following the situation there closely enough to claim to understand what's really going on there. But then again, this is how Holocaust deniers work their magic too - tell the uneducated, who didn't know what happened anyway, that nothing happened.
