UN official shrugs shoulders at news Darfur villages burned

The BBC says the UN is alarmed at news Darfur villages are again being burned. Funny, the quoted UN official doesn't seem alarmed:

"The burning of villages seems to have resumed," Jennifer Pagonis, spokeswoman for the office of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) said.

"This gratuitous act is clearly a message to the former residents not to return home."

I'm alarmed that the UN regards village burning as simply a fact of life in Darfur. With the EU's support, the UN's going to sit back and watch.
