"Khartoum's objective was to stall for time in the hope it might deceive the international community"

This article by Daniel Wolf, who just returned from a fact-finding mission in Sudan with Refugees International, graphically describes the situation in Sudan and demonstrates how the government of Sudan cannot be trusted to stop the genocide of their own making:

"But recent events suggest that in making these commitments, Khartoum's objective was to stall for time in the hope it might deceive the international community into believing the crisis had been brought under control. This cynical approach is graphically illustrated by the recent arrest and prosecution of a group of alleged Janjaweed militiamen on charges of robbery and murder in southern Darfur's provincial capital of Nyala. According to reliable sources inside the government, the 'Janjaweed' were in fact common criminals plucked from a Nyala jail, who were informed that they would be sentenced to death unless they agreed to pose as Janjaweed and confess to the crimes. The true killers remain at large."
