		<description><![CDATA[As President-elect Barack Obama puts together his administration, he will be seeking to avoid many of the errors of his predecessor.

		<description><![CDATA[When a solution comes to the Darfur crisis&#8211;as with Sudan&#8217;s national crisis&#8211;it will be a domestic solution, created and led by Sudanese, with the internationals in a supporting role. There is a flicker of a chance that the Sudan People&#8217;s Initiative marks the beginning of Sudanese taking ownership of the Darfur crisis and finding a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The ideals of American democracy, and the spirit of African liberation, have been intimately linked for more than half a century.

		<description><![CDATA[My fourth posting on the theme of “How Genocides End” applies the lessons of the inquiry to the case of Darfur.
It is, of course, far from evident that the legal definition of genocide, as found in the Genocide Convention, should apply to Darfur. The definition of genocide is at once so restrictive in its requirement [...]]]></description>

The Sudanese civil wars of the last quarter century have witnessed perhaps half a dozen episodes of extreme violence. The most striking cases include the militia raids into [...]]]></description>
