BBC NEWS | World | Africa | Annan criticises Darfur response

BBC NEWS | World | Africa | Annan criticises Darfur response: "United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan has criticised the developed world for being too slow to respond to the crisis in Sudan's Darfur region.
'We were slow, hesitant, uncaring,' Mr Annan said in a BBC interview.
He said the international community had 'learnt nothing from Rwanda' - a reference to the 1994 genocide there.
At least 180,000 have died since 2003 in the western region of Darfur. More than two million people have been forced from their homes.
Human rights groups, the US Congress and the US government say that genocide is taking place. "
