I just read a really good piece about Sudan. It's from the NYT but I'll link to it another place because I that's where I saw it www.shamarat.net/db/viewtopic.php

The piece is by Jeffrey Gettleman whose reporting from Iraq I admired very much. Lots of people are used to thinking and framing thinking in terms of binary opposites: wrong/right, black/white, good/evil, etc. I'm not sure we can really stop doing this, but we'd be well advised to bare in mind the dangers of muddled thinking that can impose.

Members here have wanted to keep the focus on Darfur. Sudan is a huge country. But in Darfur as in other conflicts like the situation in northern Uganda, there's always a broader context that defies simple explanation. Gettlemen does a great job of showing some of the complexity to Darfur in a short piece.
