From the Paper:

"A quick scan of news headlines regarding the events in Darfur, southern Sudan, reveals consistently that observers believe 70,000 may have died there in the past two years. According to U.N. humanitarian chief Jan Egeland, far more than 70,000 have been killed; he made the claim based on the fact that the original number of 1 million displaced people in Darfur has now doubled (DeLaCruz 2005). In a late 2004 article claiming that only 50,000 had died to that point, Time magazine nonetheless painted the picture of terror more graphically than the statistics, as alarming as they are, can do."
