The Latest Goings-on in Sudan

So apparently, Sudan doesn't limit itself to violence against its own people. In this article, a Sudanese diplomat had to apologize profusely for elbowing and menacing some of Condolezza Rice's entourage.

According to sources in the article, the genocide has slowed considerably in Darfur, mostly because the villages are almost all destroyed and the people have been killed or displaced. It's ending because they've almost finished their grisly task.

Something shocking at the bottom of the article: there are people sneaking into refugee camps--even though they weren't victims of the rampage--because life there is better than where they were living before. Let me repeat that: there are people who are so poor that it is a step up to move into a refugee camp.
