Introduction

This blog is intended to provide a perspective - mine at least, hopefully relatively sane and lucid - on recent news and events in Darfur, Sudan. While I admit to being an amateur (for real expert analysis, please check out www.sudanreeves.org) and that this is largely an experiment for myself, I hope it provides at least some insight in looking at the political and historical realities underlying the tragedy currently unfolding in Darfur. I intend to skip perfunctory introduction and dive right into the intricacies, but hopefully this will nonetheless be helpful to those along the entire spectrum of familiarity with Darfur. I cannot stress enough my support for the Genocide Intervention Network (www.genocideintervention.net), a crucial starting point (along with www.savedarfur.org) for finding out what you can do to help end this genocide, the first of the 21st century.
