Bush continues to push for peace efforts in Darfur

President George W. Bush bemoaned the UN for their efforts in the killings in Darfur.

The President said that the U.S. would continue to send aid and ensure that the people of Darfur receive help.

The government of Sudan has been accused of unleashing the Janaweed militia to kill and raid the ethnic African communities in the western Darfur region.

"I also made it clear that I am frustrated with the pace of activities; that the United Nations must expedite sending troops, peacekeepers, to provide security for the people — that's what they want, they want to be able to have a secure life — and that we'll help," Bush said. "The United States continues to stand at the ready to provide airlift. The pace of action out of the United Nations is too slow."

Laura Bush said that even after leaving the White House she would continue to work for human rights.

Bottoms-up for Sudan

SABMiller will be installing a new lager in Juba , located in South Sudan in February.

The brewery expects to create lots of new job opportunities.

The Sharia Law banned alcohol in Sudan in the 1980's, in 2005 a peace deal was made that led to the south winning the right to have a semi-autonomous secular government.

“We will not only be consuming but producing alcohol. It’s a serious political message of one country, two systems,” the south’s agriculture minister Samson Kwaje told Reuters news agency.

The brewery will not just create beer they will also produce soft drinks and cereal for Southern Sudan.
