Default Bush Continues to work for Peace

Quote:
US president urges Darfur peace

Mr Bush met with Mr Minnawi in the White House
US President George W Bush has urged the leader of the main rebel group in western Sudan's Darfur region, Minni Minnawi, to build support for peace.
Mr Minnawi, who visited the White House, heads the Sudanese Liberation Army (SLA), the only rebel group to sign a peace deal with the government.

Mr Bush also told Mr Minnawi the SLA had to stop instigating violence.

He asked Mr Minnawi to form alliances with two other Darfuri factions yet to sign the deal at a White House meeting.

Some 2m people have fled their homes in the Darfur region, and violence has continued. Tens of thousands of people are reported to have been killed in the ongoing violence.

Two other Darfur rebel groups refused to sign up to the peace deal saying the terms were inadequate.

The Sudanese government remains strongly opposed to the idea of a UN force replacing the current African Union force, which is seen as too small and too poorly-funded to be effective.

Default ...

If it's not genocide then what the hell is it?
The UN just looking for a reason not to send troops? Weird.
