ناتسيوس ينتقد بشدّة وصف "الإبادة" ... وبرندرجاست يقول: أرقام ضحايا دارفور مبالغ فيه بشكل جنوني

Quote: Natsios also takes a quote by my colleague John Prendergast out of context. John, at a public lecture, had simply noted that arriving at accurate figures of the dead was incredibly difficult because the government of Sudan has made such essential fact finding almost impossible. Natsios uses this to make a case that deaths in Darfur are only around 250,000 in total and that “wild estimates are compromising American diplomacy.” Again, Natsios doesn’t see the killings as the root problem, or the fact that aid agencies and mortality experts can’t operate on the ground as the problem, rather that all this is making it hard for diplomats. The number of those who have died is complex and confusing, but it is far too many by any estimation. For more on this, see the new book, Darfur and the Crime of Genocide, by John Hagan and Wenona Rymond-Richmond, drawn from interviews with more than 1,000 Darfuris, that suggests that about 400,000 Sudanese have been killed.
