Increased Darfur Violence May Cause Withdrawals

A brief statement by the CEO of GOAL expressing concern that the increasing amount of violence in Darfur may cause NGOs to withdraw from the area. If you read between the lines, there are three messages in this press release. (1) A call to action for greater efforts to be made in the stabilizing the region by the international community, (2) An implicit warning that if the situation doesn't improve, aid to the area will be forced to cease, and (3) A hint that preparations are already in place for a withdrawal and GOAL and other NGOs are simply waiting for a trigger point.
