A trio of bad news:
Sudan seeking to exploit oil in Darfur. Echoes of Abyei.
Security source: Al-Qaeda heading to Sudan and Somalia from Iraq.
Lawyer arrested for providing a defense for accused rebels.
What with these stories and other rumours, that I cannot post, Darfur (and the wider Sudan) is, by most accounts, worse than ever.
The next predictable flash-point will be the release of the International Criminal Court (ICC) indictment related to Darfur. Senior officials are nervous.

nice to see that you’re posting again. not that i can say anything about not posting often… you’re country does sound like it’s in a mess. especially with the news i read today – your life is certainly more exciting than mine. let me know if you need the new proverbs i’ve collected for you for ‘proverbs tuesdays’.
