censorship?

I posted a link to a BBC report on the situation on refugee camps in Darfur. Agreed, it was just a link, to draw attention to the problem. But then many articles are just repeats of newswire material. SO why was this one hidden? It did refer to what was described as the world's humanitarian crisis.

And the link was:  http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/3496731.stm

The world's worst humanitarian crisis is unfolding in Sudan's western region of Darfur, the United Nations says.
More than 1.5 million people have fled their homes and some 70,000 people have been killed. Pro-government Arab militias are accused of ethnic cleansing and even genocide against the region's black African population.

this partic indy site has been one of the worst for cutting out articles, for various reasons. at first they were antagonistic toward work coming from "trot" heirarchical " organizations, mostly marxist. of course, this behaviour raises echoes of stalinism, and only later did they permit posts by the useless SWP (which actually helped to EXPOSE the SWP for the vapid duplicitious group it is!).
i really thought theyd learned the lesson; still, there ye go
