group's 156 locally hired staff were strongly advised to leave their town and seek refuge in the area.

Although DWB has established contact with a few of them, many cannot be contacted as they have taken flight along with their families and neighbors. Their precise whereabouts are unknown and DWB is deeply concerned about their safety.

Its terrible that people born with such a desire to do good for the world seem to inherently have an ignorance to raw human nature and the perils of the world.
I hope they are found safely.

Don't worry. Muslims are peaceful and would never really hurt someone; unless you insult their religion. Of course not being a Muslim insults their religion so these doctors are kind of @#$!@.

Then there are those who say, "How can we tell the Muslims from the other people?" The answer, "Kill them all and God will sort it out."

The sad part is the story broke early January and the world hasn't blinked an eye.

Good people who just wanted to make a place better are likely dead because they were helping the wrong people.

Kinda good news here, added to the OP article:
posted:
This story originally appeared on Global Post, and was written by Andrew Meldrum. In a January 24, 2012, press release, Doctors Without Borders said all but 25 of their staff in Sudan have been accounted for. CBS News has contacted Doctors Without Borders and is awaiting an update on its mission in Sudan.

Is the Sudan even Muslim? confused

What about the Muslims who have nothing to do with fundamental Islam? I personally know dozens of them who are good law abiding Americans. What about them Fist?

Maybe when it comes to radical Christians maybe we should "Kill them all and God will sort it out." raised_brow How about that Puma?

What about drug cartels? Should we kill all the Mexicans and Latin America-nos and let God sort that out? What do you think Mrs. Puma would feel about your "solution" then?

What about ignorant racist dumbasses? Should we kill you and the rest of them and let God sort that out?

Try not to be an asshole Fist. I know it's hard, but give it a shot, will you?

Looks like I quoted the wrong post. The opposite post really. This is awkward.

the origin of the " kill them all" quote. it wasn't from the crusaders and aimed at muslims- it was coined by catholics, aimed at other "heritic" catholics.

"This comes from a perfectly genuine mediaeval anecdote. In 1209, during the "Albigensian Crusade" against the Cathar heresy in Southern France, the forces of Orthodox Catholicism had been besieging the city of Beziers, defended by the Cathar heretics, for some time. Finally they breached the walls of the city and prepared to storm it. The commander of the crusade, Simon de Montfort, Earl of Leicester, pointed out that not everybody in the city was a heretic, some of them wer good Catholics, so how should they treat the inhabitants when they captured the city? A monk who was actually present at the siege recorded the answer of the Papal Legate to the Crusaders, Arnaud-Amaury, the Abbot of Citeaux, as "Neca eos omnes. Deus suos agnoscet." ("Kill them all. God will know his own." ) So the Crusaders followed his advice and killed everybody they could find in Beziers.
The Abbot presumably said it in everyday French, and the account we have is in Latin, but there seems no reason to doubt that he really did give that advice."

They disappeared in South Sudan. That's tribal lands that are infighting, not the Muslim majority area.

Grats on showing your bigotry, ignorance and idiocy all in one short post! applause
