     COMMENTS: Degenerating

ABC sent Jim Sciutto (subscription required) to Darfur for A Closer Look at Sudan's continuing civil war. He found the situation worse than ever--"degenerating into a confusing free-for-all." He counted 14 different rebel factions fighting with the janjaweed militias on the ground and targeted from the air by government planes. When he broached the prospect of replacing the ineffectual and outnumbered 7,000-strong observer force of the African Union with a military mandate for United Nations peacekeepers, Yosuf Kibir, the Governor of Darfur replied: "We do not want a foreign occupation like Iraq. Darfur is peaceful." Sciutto called the governor's claim "outrageous."
