Darfur 'fear and rape' decried

According to Louise Arbour, human rights worker in the Darfur region of Africa fear and terror continues for refugees. Along with all of the grisly events such as bombing and displacements Sudanese refugees have also suffered the atrocity of rape which only serves to instill more fear into the already abused refugees. Often merely leaving camps to collect fire wood becomes a dangerous situation for refugee women. The govnerment denies many claims of rape that women make, saying that they have exagerated the situation, but aid workers disagree pointing out that women would not exagerate in such a humiliting situation. To combat the situation aid workers are calling for a stronger international presence and more intervention by the African Union.
