David Aaronovitch on Darfur

Maybe if the U.S. came out in favor of the janjaweed extermination of black Muslims in Sudan, the rest of the world would gear into action to stop it. Here's David Aaronovitch in The Times:

This week the United Nations must insist that Sudan accept the UN force, or we must accept that the UN can offer no protection from genocide.

There are plenty of countries, such as Germany, Spain, India, Turkey and Sweden, who are not militarily over-committed and who could take the leading role in saving the Darfurians from their own Government. A long commitment of forces is better than sharing historic guilt.

As Johann Hari pointed out almost a year ago, the good news in this terrible region is that the killing is almost over. There are hardly any victims left.
