Chad troops chase rebels in Sudan. Troops from Chad entered Sudan's Darfur region in pursuit of Chadian rebels on Friday, as the U.N. and humanitarian aid groups prepared to pull some workers out of a key border town, fearing an imminent battle.
The world's first cloned cat just became a mother. (she even did it without test tubes). Copy Cat, who was cloned by Texas A&M University researchers in 2001, had three kittens in September. Mother and kittens are doing well, said Duane Kraemer, an A&M veterinary medicine professor who helped clone her, and has been taking care of her since.
President Hugo Chavez said Friday that Fidel Castro is not dying of cancer, saying he had spoken with the ailing Cuban leader by phone, and he is eating cautiously and well enough to joke.
Those were the headlines for today. Chad troops chase rebels in Sudan. There is this terrible war going on in the Darfur region of Sudan. A war that gets more, and more complicated day by day, as this story illustrates. Because, what have Chad troups to do in Sudan? Did they declaire war? No, they didn't, and have no intention of doing so, but they are using their right to chase rebel troups. This war already costs, acording to the article I read today, more then 200,000 people their lives, and made numerous people homeless. Although I have to admit, I have no idea why people are fighting each other there, I do know that this is a huge crisis, and something structural should be done, to bring peace to that region. Actor George Clooney puts a lot of his personal resources on the line to help those poor people from Darfur. We should do as well.
But, as usual, I don't care whatever you do, and for whatever reason, as long as you don't forget to love a soldier. Love, Jenifer. bloomjenifer@yahoo.co.uk
