DARFUR UPDATE:

The violence in Darfur continues to spread into neighboring Chad. The fighting along the Sudanese border not only involves Chad rebel groups, but also pro-Sudanese government militias that have been raiding the refugee camps just across the border in Chad. To further complicate matters, Sudanese rebel groups have been coming to the refugee camps, to recruit, and to get supplies.

It still seems to me that arming the victims would be a good idea, although Jim Dunnigan has said otherwise.

And here, by the way, is a Darfur website recommended by U.Va. law student Mark Finsterwald.
