Amidst a growing anxiety, the different actors involved on the political scene seem to be affected by a form of paralysis: they are not [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[According to the reports received by UNAMID, there were 67 deaths directly attributable to violence in Darfur during October.
This figure is subject to the usual caveats, which is that UNAMID access is uneven. In some places UNAMID patrols have been turned back by security officers, for example when investigating inter-tribal clashes in south-east Darfur. In [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It is frequently heard that Arabs/Muslims and their media were silent, unmoved or without opinion over Darfur. These suppositions tend to contain a measure of moral equivalence and finger-pointing, suggesting that responding as a Westerner &#8212; regardless of the quality, timing or efficacy of response &#8212; is the most correct option. In most conceptions, there [...]]]></description>
