Keeping the Pressure on Sudan
In recent years violence and atrocities committed by "Arab" militias in the Darfur region of western Sudan have increased. The large numbers of deaths and displaced persons, as well as the ethnic component of the conflict, have led many to compare the situation to the genocide in Rwanda. Many have blamed the U.S. for failing to act more decisively to stop the crisis in Darfur, but the U.S. has pressed repeatedly for U.N. resolutions to authorize a robust peacekeeping effort and impose stiff sanctions on the Sudanese government.
