Roundtable: Sudan Experts Boil Down the Current Crisis
Voices of Sudan director Jimmy Mulla and Enough’s Omer Ismail and John Prendergast recently got together to record this roundtable discussion about the troubling state of affairs in Sudan. They discuss the escalation of tension in Sudan as the peace deal between North and South falters and the conflict in Darfur remains unresolved six years and counting. They also reflect on the utterly disappointing response of the international community, which has made it its M.O. to look at the Darfur conflict and the challenges in the South separately. As Omer put it:
“By not working on multiple tracks, by not being able to walk and chew gum at the same time, we are going to continue jumping from one place to another, and the government of Sudan is the happiest in the middle.”
Have a look:
We can only hope for a quick peace resolution, but seems unlikely at this point as differences are great.

"Boots on the ground" Biden. At one time, then Senator Joe Biden was one of the few elected officials who not only passionatley (Joe passionate?) advocated for the human beings of Darfur for crying out loud and strong, intelligent policy, Biden walked amongst the sadness to capture firsthand the situation in all its ugliness of reality. As I recall, his actions and advocacy with regards to the region earned him great respect and top rating from a Darfur watch group. (I attempted to find the website, but alas I'm unsuccessful.)
Watch Biden when he speaks of and FOR Darfur, listen.
I don't know a lot of things, especially details of issues and policy, but I know Biden walks his talk like few others. My low cost loans will be on the vice president if he has influence. I believe in President Obama's heart. I hope, the Obama-Biden Administration will do right by Sudan's Darfur. It hurts to even think about it failing.
