tnr series on darfur

[rone]

The New Republic ran a series of articles last week by Eric Reeves, a Smith College professor, on Darfur.

1. Why the genocide started, how it is being carried out, and whether it is getting worse.
2. What motivates the Sudanese government, and whether we should call Darfur a genocide.
3. Why the genocide is not abating — and may, in fact, be getting worse.
4. The feckless international response.
5. The case for NATO intervention.
