Coalition for Darfur: Witness

This week's Coalition for Darfur post addresses the media coverage of the Darfur genocide, noting that part of the underlying cause for the lack of media coverage is the Sudanese government.

Sudan does not want journalists freely traveling around Darfur for the sole reason that their reports are going to reveal the true nature of Khartoum's genocidal campaign.

Considering this basic fact in conjunction with the efforts currently underway to expand the African Union mission in Darfur, it might behoove all involved to consider embedding journalists with the AU just as the US did during the initial weeks of the war in Iraq.
