COLLOUNSBURY ON DAR FUR AND THE MEDIA
This lengthy post really should be read for Collounsbury's detailed dissection of the ethnic and cultural nuances of the crisis in the Sudan. Incidentally, I agree with his definition of the nature of the conflict being ethnic cleansing rather than genocide. Khartoum is an miserably tyrannical regime but neither their aim nor the results, as bad as they are, rise to a legal claim of genocide. At least not yet. Not that the West has the will to do much about it in any event.
