Sudan Wants Darfur Deal By End Of 2010 -- BBCA peace deal to end the civil war in Sudan's western Darfur region could be achieved by the end of this year, the government's chief negotiator has said.
Ghazi Salahuddin Atabani told the BBC the agreement should then be put to the people of Darfur in a consultation.
But he said the government would rather deal directly with rebel commanders than the rebel leaders living abroad.
There has been an increase in fighting since the Justice and Equality Movement (Jem) walked out of talks in May.

My Comment: Every 6 months I hear a story about a peace deal in Darfur. Is there one in the works right now .... I have my doubts.

We said genocide wouldn’t happen again after the Holocaust and Rwanda. Uwe Boll’s new film Attack on Darfur shows that genocide is happening yet again today. It’s long past due that people need to do something about the atrocities going on everyday and it’s with a breath of humanity that Boll delivers an important message that is necessary in a time where we all pretend that everything is fine. It's with articles and films like these that we can stop these horrors. I think the DVD comes out on Oct. 26th, more than worth checking out.
