Truce Is Talk, Agony Is Real in Darfur
This is precisley what I was afraid of. Less than two weeks after "Peace Treaties" are signed, death is still the rule.
Officially, the cease-fire in the Darfur region went into effect last Monday.

That was three days after the government and the largest rebel group signed a broad peace agreement, creating hope for an end to the brutal assaults that have left more than 200,000 dead and have driven two million from their homes, a campaign of government-sponsored terror against non-Arab tribes in Darfur that the Bush administration has called genocide.

But the reality was on grim display in this crossroads town, where Ms. Moussa and other villagers were attacked Thursday as they rode home in an open-backed truck from Shangil Tobayi.

The Arab militiamen who attacked them killed 1 woman, wounded 6 villagers and raped 15 women, witnesses and victims said.
Only one rebel group has signed the agreement. This is an area the size of France for Christ's sake. It must be unilateral to be effective. DO NOT FORGET. DO NOT IGNORE.
