Report: Leveraging New International Action on Darfur
December 2006
Abstract
The international community is running out of options on Darfur. The death toll in western Sudan continues to mount as the latest wave of government-sponsored violence intensifies. Tens of thousands of people have been newly displaced in recent weeks. Reports from the United Nations (UN) and the media indicate that the crisis is now at its worst point ever: the Sudanese government is arming its proxy militias to a greater extent than ever before,1 violence is reaching more deeply into Chad, and insecurity is constraining the humanitarian response throughout Darfur and leaving millions of lives in increasing jeopardy.
