Send in peacekeeping forces. Set up refugee camps for the Fur, Masalit and Zaghawa to protect them from the Janjaweed and provide them with food and shelter so that they don't starve to death. Finally, work out a peace agreement to ensure this will not continue to happen. In fact, if the UN just decided to take the issue seriously, it would have greatly improved the situation by sending a message to Sudan that this would not be tolerated.

I meant that Africans are not given the same level of respect as Eurpoeans are. We're willing to use them to get their resources, but we're not willing to lend them a hand when they're dying by the tens of thousands.

Oh, I'm a communist now? You're really reaching. So, you think that the people of Africa have never been exploited? So, slavery, colonialism, blatant oppression, etc... were just fun and games for the locals? Do you deny that this happened?
