Keep the pressure on and maybe somebody will blink...
KHARTOUM (Reuters) - One of Darfur's main rebel factions complained on Wednesday it had not been invited to talks in Libya between Sudan's President Omar Hassan al-Bashir and Darfur rebels who have rejected a shaky peace deal.
The peace talks, expected to start on Wednesday, are aimed at trying to entice a rebel coalition, the National Redemption Front, to join a 2006 peace deal between Khartoum and one faction of the former rebel Sudan Liberation Movement.
Gaddafi is expected to try to persuade the NRF to join the peace deal for Darfur, where an estimated 200,000 people have been killed and 2.5 million driven from homes since 2003.
Maybe Ike was right. Remember history class in high school about communism? The American reason for involvement was what the state department called the Domino Effect. If one country fell, the others would surely follow. History shows us that did not ever happen but maybe it was the right idea for the wrong situation.
The conflict in Darfur has caused one of the world's worst humanitarian crises. The bloodshed has spilled over to Chad and Central African Republic.
