Darfur Improving, Southern Sudan Becoming Worst

From VOA News...
The World Health Organization (WHO) says Southern Sudan is all but forgotten since it signed a peace agreement with the North in January 2005. That officially ended more than 20 years of civil war.

WHO Middle East Head of Emergencies, Irshae Shaikh calls this a tragic mistake. He tells VOA Southern Sudan is the world's worst humanitarian crisis and the world must pay more attention to what is going on there.
The media *also* seems to have forgotten about Southern Sudan. The "related pieces" all focused on an improving Darfur.
From the A.F.P....
EL-FASHER, Sudan — Security and human rights in Sudan's western war-ridden Darfur region are getting better, officials from Khartoum told a government-backed conference in the Darfuri capital on Saturday.
