#2 This reminds me of the series of Jimmy Carter brokered peace deals involving the same Bashir government in the early to mid-1990s. Carter continually sang the tune that peace between Khartoum and the southern Sudan SPLA was just around the corner. Bashir found him a useful idiot. I fear the same thing is happening with the JEM, and Bashir is just trying to gain some tactical advantage.

#4 The headline should read, Genocide nearly complete. Sudan now willing to stop the killings. Good lord, the Sudanese government first killed most, if not all the Christians down south, where was the press on that one? Now they are almost done with the genocide in Darfur. I wonder what the real body count is. Must be comparable to Cambodia, we will never know.

And of course, like Cambodia, Bosnia, and the rest, guys like Carter and the UN continue to talk with no action.
