I could be wrong but the information I had heard was that the Sudanese governemt had lost touch with a few of the rebel groups, and they were the ones that postponed the agreement in an attempt to settle with some other groups. The US in tern wanted them to come to agreement before the thrid deadline arrived, but did agree with their original postponement. Even now however, some groups remain outside the agreement with the Sudanese government.

The military mandate of AMIS was essentially four-fold: to monitor and observe compliance with the ceasefire agreement; to assist in confidence building measures; to contribute to a secure environment by facilitating humanitarian assistance and returns of internally displaced persons; and to contribute to overall security. \n\nThe Sudanese government is part of the problem, not part of the solution.

Ask your average Merikun dough-brain "What do you think about what's happening in Darfur Province in Sudan?" and they will most likely get that befuddled look you sometimes see on a slow child's face when someone brings up the subject of algebra...and if it isn't blazing across the crawl on FOXNEWS the people in charge DON'T CARE! It took two years to drag Clinton into Kosovo and Bosnia, maybe it will only take three to drag Bush into Darfur... it's a touchy situation though, the region is heavily populated by Muslims.... Wouldn't it be seen as just more American arrogance butting it's way into an internal conflict where we have no business? Wouldn't it create even more hatred of America in the Arab world if we barged into Sudan with an armed force, whether or not we called them PeaceKeepers? I see no easy solution to what's currently happening in Sudan. It's very reminiscent of the Hutu Vs. Tutsi conflict in Rwanda a few years back. Hardly anybody in America gave a $hiT back then and we weren't at war with terrorists then. Our military strength is already being stretched thin in Iraq... why should we worry about some poor African people who we DON'T see on T.V. every night? Sometimes the right thing to do isn't necessarily the smart thing to do if you're name is America.

The Rwandan Genocide was the slaughter of an estimated 800,000 to 1,071,000 Tutsis and moderate Hutus, mostly carried out by two extremist Hutu militia groups, the Interahamwe and the Impuzamugambi, during a period of 100 days from April 6th through mid-July 1994.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rwandan_genocide\n\nThe Darfur conflict is an ongoing conflict in the Darfur region of western Sudan, mainly between the Janjaweed, a militia group recruited from local Arab tribes, and the non-Arab peoples of the region. Estimates of deaths in the conflict have ranged from 50,000 to 450,000. Most NGOs use 400,000, a figure from the Coalition for International Justice. On January 31, 2005, the UN released a 176-Page report saying that while there were mass murders and rapes, they could not label it as genocide.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darfur_conflict

Darfur seems to have fallen through the cracks, much like east Timor did

Nobody cares. It's outta sight so it's outta mind. It is the same thing as Rwanda. I think we should do something but not use military intervention. Everybody is worried about Darfur but nobody thinks about for longer than two minutes.

I am liberal and a Dem and I don't support military action in Darfur.  While what is going on there is HORRIBLE and deserves the attention of the world community, nation building and military intervention to preserve peace NEVER works.  The sentiments that led to war will never change.  Sadly, conflicts of that nature must be settled internally.

Except for the small detail of the army that's perpetrating that genocide, yes.  The problem is that malnourished people without weapons cannot overtake a governmental army.  It also doesn't help that the African Union is doing nothing to help the situation there.  They have 7,000 troops (who don't do anything) to patrol an area the size of France.

are you saying we should send our U.S. military into Sudan?\nthen the whole world will hate us for that.  and 1 innocent person gets killed, and the U.S. army is blamed for that.\n\nwhy not try and get the chineese army in there.  or the russian army in there.  or the french army in there.\n\ndon't ask for the U.S. to do everything.

I asked that question here and I was castigated for doing so. Apparently they do not have any oil and the US is too busy fighting the Iraqis to intervene in mass genocide of the worst kind, in which Arab Islamic fighters from the North of Sudan are using every despicable tool of warfare, including rape and torture, to wipe out the black population of the South. Usual African brotherhood stuff.

Happy,\n\nThe Muslims that I met in the Middle East were just people. Some are nice and some are not. Religion is not practiced strictly by most people, but is more like a club that helps them socially and in business. There are repressive governments, and it is difficult for an American to tolerate the abuses of freedom in those countries.\n\nThere is a Muslim “problem” that is obvious to anyone. In Sudan, the Arab Muslims tried for 20 years to wipe out all Christians and killed many and destroyed lives, churches, homes, etc. Today they are engaged in trying to kill the black Muslims in the Darfur region of the country. Hundreds of thousands are being killed and the increasing violence has left hundreds of thousands of civilians in Darfur without food, and facing the prospect of widespread disease and death within weeks.\n\nThe conflict between Arab Muslims and black Muslims has already killed an estimated 300,000 in the past two years and has left nearly two million people homeless. Most of the refugees have fled for their lives into neighboring Chad. Raids by rebel groups along the border have raised the threat level and the possibility of all out war between Sudan and Chad.\n\nCaught in the middle are the black Muslim men, women, and children in refugee camps spread out along the border. The Sudanese government has used militia known as the Janjaweed to unleash a campaign of murder, rape, arson, and looting against these black Muslims just like they did against the Christians.\n\nThe recent raids by the Janjaweed have caused some in the refugee camps to flee back into Darfur, a region with active genocide. It is the first genocide of the 21st century as the Sudanese government is directly pursuing the murder of millions of their countrymen.\n\nI don’t understand the murder of 3,000 innocent Americans in 2001, but at least one might argue that we have differing cultures and religions. In Sudan, the Arab Muslims are trying to destroy the black Muslims who share the same religion. It is a very troubling religion that espouses that kind of violence.\n\nAs I said, I met some very nice Muslims in the Middle East, and so I admit that I’m confused about the violence against innocent people in the name of Islam. The really bad places in the Middle East are the countries where the religion is in charge of the government.\n\nIn the dark ages, the Catholic Church was as bad or worse when they were in charge of governments. That’s why our founding fathers were so determined to preclude the church from any controlling interest in our government.\n\nFreedom is great, and most Americans are naïve concerning the way the rest of the world lives. Everyone should take a trip to the Middle East or South America or Asia at least once in their lifetime to appreciate how good it really is here.\n\nGod bless.

I care very deeply about this horrible situation--and follow it very closely.  Have you been following Nicholas Kristof's articles about the Genocide in the New York Times?  He writes about it regularly and has been trying to get the US government and the "bully pulpit" people like Bill O'Reilly to draw attention to Darfur.  He has even set up a collection to pay for Bill O'Reilly's trip to Darfur to raise the public's attention.  So far, O'Reilly has refused--saying he has "other commitments" (what commitments could be more important?)  If you get a chance look at www.nytimes.com and see if you can access the articles/video on Darfur.

Genocide is killing or causing serious harm to members of a national, ethnic or religious group. Article 2 of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide defines it in more detail. \n\nIn the Rwandan genocide in 1994, two extremist Hutu militia groups killed over 900,000 members of the Tutsi as well as moderate Hutus. Unfortunately, neither the United Nations or other nations did anything to stop the massacre.\n\nIn 2004, Secretary of State Colin Powell claimed that Sudanese Government backed Arab militia had committed abuses that left 1.2 million black African Sudanese homeless. This was also known as the Darfur massacre.
