Coalition for Darfur: Garang

This week's Coalition for Darfur post is about the death of recently inaugurated Sudanese vice-president John Garang. "Much of the world's hope for a peaceful solution rested on Garang's ability to reign in the genocidal regime in Khartoum and, with his death, the future of Darfur and the North/South peace accord is now hard to predict." The coalition founders direct readers to three articles on the web:

• Reuters article on the death of Garang,
• an article by Eric Reeves examining what his death means for Darfur and Sudan, and
• a report by Doctors Without Borders reporting that millions of people are still at risk in Darfur and that, contrary to conventional wisdom, the situation is deteriorating, both in terms of humanitarian and security conditions, in many parts of Darfur.
