BREAKING NEWS: Sudanese helicopter shot down in Darfur
Downing of an enemy Helicopter that sent by Khartoum to kill civillians in Darfur is a good news, but not enough. Major western countries Britain, USA, France and Germany should act unilaterally to impose a No Fly Zone over Darfur. Or armed Darfurians with Anti-Anitnope missils in order to defend themselves. Darfurians are also human beings who love their freedom just like Kosovans. Darfur Oyeeeeeeeee,
