Eric Reeves: AS NEWS coverage of Darfur's horrors again ebbs, as regional rains reach their heaviest in a deadly season known as the "hunger gap," the regime in Khartoum appears to have outwaited the international community. The men who have orchestrated ethnic destruction in Darfur now believe that by threatening the massive UN humanitarian and peacekeeping presence in the region, they can have their way with the fate of international justice and determine fully the fate of Darfur's millions of conflict-affected civilians.

Hi, you can call me Drima. I write The Sudanese Thinker to give interested people from around the world the opportunity to learn about Sudan and global sociopolitical issues from the perspective of a 21 year old, Afro-Arab, Sudanese Muslim born at the convergence of the White and Blue Nile – the city of Khartoum.


So he'll be on the justice side of the peace v justice debate


Sudan's president, Omar al-Bashir, said in an interview published today that he will never appear before the International Criminal Court to face charges of genocide and war crimes at his country's Darfur region.

working the soil

The ground is hard, and the tools are elementary. But the people are determined, hard working and tenacious. And the result is a sustainable food supply in a wilderness that the United Nations declared didn’t even have any water.
