Worth Doing Darfur Right
An interesting piece on Bloomberg today featured U.S. Special Envoy for Sudan Scott Gration discussing the ongoing Darfur peace talks in the context of upcoming national elections scheduled for April. As Gration put it, “We have this little window where we really need to get the framework solidified,” said Gration.
Gration is correct that the national election will demand a great deal of time and attention from both the international community and the Sudanese government, and that there are “going to be a lot of things that are keeping us from focusing on Darfur.” Key international actors will also be increasingly eager to put Darfur on a back burner as we get closer to the independence referendum for South Sudan in January 2011.
Yet previous attempts to reach a peace deal for Darfur suggest that the most important thing is to strike a comprehensive peace agreement that can be practically implemented and effectively monitored. This remains a far more important over-arching goal than trying to shoe horn in an agreement before the April election or trying to throw a quick deal together that will not stand the test of time. A lasting peace for Darfur involves lots of complicated issues: refugee and displaced returns, compensation for victims; accountability, what to do with rebel weapons and government militias, power-sharing, and more. It is important to remember that at the end of the day, elections are part of the peace process – not the other way around.
We hope to have some more insights into the ongoing talks between the government of Sudan and the Justice and Equality Movement in the next several days, so stay tuned.

Yes, I agree that every professional has to take care of his or her online reputation. The more successful you are in your field, the more at risk your online reputation is. It seems that those who have not turned out as successful are bitter and start spreading rumors about you. No online gossip can hold me back anymore. Thanks to you, DENAS

Interesting, thanks for this post Belote en ligne
I'm the same way, I do my best to remain neutral. It's hard, if you communicate with the person the other person dislikes, then you fall out of favor with them! I simple can't dislike a person, just because someone else does, I just can't

I not understand the twisted policies given by the US government that they are looking selfish in there purpose.
That is known that money can make us independent. But how to act when someone does not have money? The only one way is to receive the mortgage loans and just financial loan.

I also hope that Darfur will finally have peace. Someone has to make this a top priority so that the innocent won't have to suffer any longer. Dating Sites Schweiz
Actually not everything written here had to be mentioned in my opinion...
the vast gap in relief capacity created by Sudan's capricious decision to expel thirteen international relief organizations could be filled by agencies from both Arab states and the West.

I really hope that this war would come to an end soon. It isn't the political leaders that are suffering for what they want to accomplish, its the innocent people who are being displaced, experiencing fear and hunger!
i do hope so, that it will do right.

After nearly seven years of fighting, the displacement of three million people, and multiple failed attempts to negotiate peace, talks are ongoing to end the conflict in Darfur. Since mid-February, the joint African Union/U.N. mediation team has been working in Doha, Qatar with representatives of the Government of Sudan and more than 10 Darfur rebel groups to negotiate a solution. Diplomats from around the world have descended on Doha to support the process. The host government, in an effort to grease Personalised Chocolates the wheels, publicly pledged $2 billion dollars for reconstruction efforts in Darfur.
The speech of the government spokesman shows the double policies of the state . This is only to get the advantages according to our own desires.
