POPSA Critical Moment for Darfur Violence continues due to the UN being totally inept, they bark but rarely ever bite and everyone knows it.

"This shows that our co-operation is in the interests of Mattel, and both parties should value our co-operation. I really hope that Mattel can learn lessons and gain experience from these incidents,'' Li sai
