One of the most disturbing images to have come out of Sudan in the wake of JEM’s attempt to overthrow the government has been that of the tortured body of a lawyer in his forties, Jamali Hassan Jalal al Din, apparently beaten to death by government forces [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As more details emerge about JEM’s assault on the national capital at the weekend, it is becoming clear that this was a solo operation by JEM directed by its leader Khalil Ibrahim. Its aim was nothing less than taking power. 
The role of Chadian President Idriss Deby is now clearer. For two years, Deby armed [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Posted on behalf of Julie Flint.
Picking up Alex’s question about the calculations of the JEM leadership, I believe this was a serious attempt at regime change—however over-ambitious or foolhardy it may now seem.  JEM has said openly ever since it refused to sign the DPA that it has a new policy and that policy [...]]]></description>

The calculations of the leadership of the Justice and Equality Movement are puzzling&#8211;the attack looks much like an act of reckless military escalation, bold and daring no doubt, but possibly suicidal. But it would be surprising [...]]]></description>

Six days after the aerial attack on Shigeg Karo, UNAMID has finally spoken out, in a press release that raises more questions than it answers. A verification team visited Shigeg Karo on Thursday—a full four days after the bombing, taking nothing to assist the wounded still remaining there—and confirmed the [...]]]></description>

At 2 pm on Sunday 4 May, a single Antonov bomber targeted the village of Shegeg Karo in North Darfur, destroying the market and hitting the village school during classes.  At least 11 people were killed outright, six of them children between the ages of five and eleven. More [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Posted on behalf of James Morton.
Darfur has suffered more than most from the international community’s attention deficit disorder.  It only commands that attention at times of crisis: the sahel drought of the 1968 to 1970, the Band Aid famine of 1984/5 and the current conflict.  As each crisis recedes, important lessons are forgotten [...]]]></description>

Entitled &#8220;Fluid Loyalties in a Regional Crisis: Chadian ‘Ex-Liberators’ in the Central African Republic&#8221; it examines a neglected pattern of the regional crisis in Darfur, Chad, and the Central African Republic, namely the cross-border activities of combatants with fluid loyalties.
