Sudan repeating Rwanda?

Jonathan Power | "Last week, Sudan's minister of state for foreign affairs told a press conference in Khartoum that the Darfur crisis was 'a smokescreen' to hoodwink the international community into aiding political opponents who seek to overthrow the government.

I immediately phoned up Olusegun Obasanjo, the president of Nigeria and the current chairman of the African Union. Obasanjo who is hosting a peace conference later this month between the warring parties and Nigeria, along with Rwanda, has sent peace-keepers to Sudan to monitor the conflict. As usual Obasanjo was to the point: 'If there is any smokescreen at all it is coming from the Sudanese government'."
