DOHA, Qatar is donating $500 million dollars to help Sudan's "war-battered" region, Darfur in rebuilding and boosting the stability after the last decade of violence as part of an international conference.
Qatar's mission is to strengthen peace efforts by the Gulf nation. A donors' conference is now open in the capital, Doha. Darfur has been left devastated since 2003 when rebels took up arms against the government in Khartoum. "Sudan's leader Omar al-Bashir was accused of genocide and war crimes by the International Criminal Court for attacks in Darfur."
Yesterday Britain had pledged $102 mil. to Sudan for the next three years, and half going to Darfur.
