RANDOM MUSINGS FROM THE TOP OF THE HILL

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

 I've decided that I can't depend on readers to answer questions, so I'm doing it myself.  

Question of the day:  In which location have the most people been killed in the last eight months?  Ukraine/Russia or Israel/Gaza/Lebanon/Yemen/Jorden or Syria/Iraq/Iran?  

Answer of the day:  Those are bad situations for sure but there is another that we seem to ignore.  Sudan is an African country a little smaller than Mexico with a population of about 50 million.  Civil war broke out there in April of last year.  In that time, 11 million people have been displaced; driven out of their homes.  No one knows exactly how many people have been killed in the fighting but the U.S. envoy estimated last May that the death toll was over 150,000 civilians.  In addition, because of the displacements amid the war, deaths from diseases and starvation are exploding.  

What are we going to do about the NEWS?
