Our Authority Addressing the Mission
We have the U.N to protect them, because they are a part of America. They have the duty to aid the people who are in need of help. With the U.N's support we are able to get and dispense supplies necessary for the people in Darfur to survive. The U.N. has been a great supporter for us to have during this crisis to aid the people in Darfur.
