A new way forward is needed in Sudan. The western advocacy groups have raised the discussion to a shrill scream that defies any relief politically or socially. Save Darfur…didn’t. The problems of the country lie in Khartoum’s central government, the same group of people that waged war on the south, Nuba, the East and Darfur. The same group of people that broght the terrorist players into their country for safe haven. Have they changed and have guilty conscience now? No! They take tactical steps to maintain power, confuse those who threaten their power, and fool outsider players. Conquer and divide is in fact the strategy of those in power in Khartoum. The South is weak but still the major political player with any chance to influence a political transformation. The constant scream about Darfur doesn’t help Sudan. Their should be a much broader and substantive engagement with all of Sudan’s issues and change is going to be slow but it needs heavy and constant US/Eurporean/China support.

It might be right to say that a lot of attention has been paid the darfur issue,in fact, i think its drawing too much publicity that the issue is being blown out of proportion. For groups and organizations holding meetings, its more like a race to see who’s efforts will produce results.Much of the suggestions though, are coming from western and european countries. Their methods may not work. Sudanese themselves know how best to work out their differences,and until they begin to see sudan as their country,and become more patriotic,they’re going to end up being exploited by groups claiming to be soliciting peace in the darfur region.
