Perhaps the Bush White House will do something right for a change. The AP writes:
The Bush administration is taking steps to highlight an ongoing humanitarian crisis in Western Sudan, mindful that the world's inattention to Rwanda a decade ago may have contributed to the genocide that occurred there.

U.S. officials say lingering remorse over the American brushoff of the Rwanda genocide is influencing the U.S. response to the developing crisis in the Darfur region of Western Sudan.
This is not the familiar Christian / Muslim civil war in Sudan. This is about the growing ethnic cleansing and forced displacment of African Muslims by Arab Muslims. The problem is more than a year old, but it is not too late to stop the worst from happening.
