The Latest On Darfur

Eric Reeves recently wrote what amounts to confirmation of what is already known to most everyone about the genocide in Darfur. The article appeared in The Guardian (on-line). Here is a short excerpt:

Khartoum - which had announced with much fanfare a unilateral ceasefire when talks opened on October 27 - launched the very next day what may be a final solution to its Darfur problem: the United Nations, Human Rights Watch and journalists in the region are all reporting Khartoum’s assaults on camps for displaced persons, including violent relocation of civilians to insecure areas
....
But the real reason for the failure in Sirte is that neither the UN nor the AU is willing to confront Khartoum with meaningful consequences for its serial violation of UN resolutions and its continuing obstruction of humanitarian aid and the deployment of the hybrid UN/AU peace support operation authorized by the security council in July. Nor has Khartoum paid a price for its systematic reneging on the north/south comprehensive peace agreement of January 2005.
