Crisis in The Sudan

I find it appaling that there is so little coverage of the death of the main Sudanese rebel leader in the South in a helicopter crash. This has become a big issue. There are riots in Khartoum. When there were riots in Kabul over the desecration of the Koran, there were right-wingers blaming a slighlty mis-sourced Newsweek article (of course without addressing any of the main concerns). Since John Garang's death, the wholee peace process that the Bush Administration was out trumpeting has been shaken up, if not eliminated. The need now is for the U.S. and Europe to re-engage the issue to head off the possibility of renewed civil war, a war that has been going on for more than 20 years before the fragile peace treaty that was brokered a short time ago.
