The world is, rightly, concerned about the worsening situation in Iraq and the ever-growing threat of war with Iran.
In the meantime, the world's eyes, and concern, seems to have been averted from the plight of those in Darfur, and now Chad as well.
As BBC News reports:
"The violence in Chad could turn into a genocide similar to that in Rwanda in 1994, the UN refugee agency has warned.
The UNHCR says the killing tactics from neighbouring Darfur in Sudan have been transported to eastern Chad in full.
The warning comes as Chad, Sudan and the Central African Republic signed a deal not to support rebels attacking each other's neighbouring territory.
More than 200,000 people have been killed and 2.5m displaced since war broke out in Darfur four years ago.
Concern is now growing for the 200,000 refugees who sought shelter in eastern Chad.
The conflict in Darfur has followed them across the border with attacks by Janjaweed Arab militia on camels and horseback leaving hundreds dead and 110,000 people homeless."
