U.S.$480 Million Spent On Darfur Peace Strategy

To this date it is estimated that over $480 Billion has been spent in order to try and reach a peace strategy in the Darfur region of Sudan. This aid coming from a myriad of countries is said to not be reaching and making the significant impacts that many would think they would. It seems that a large portion has fell into the hands of the corrupt and not distributed to those in need, a common theme with aid money in Africa. This is especially serious due to the fact that in the southern part of Darfur violence and strife is still occuring. The seccession of South Sudan is a burden on Southern pastoralists who can no longer travel freely.
