The U.N. human rights investigator for Sudan said on Tuesday that Khartoum's forces continue to carry out land and air attacks on civilians in Darfur, and arrest and torture activists and aid workers there.

Sima Samar, U.N. special rapporteur on human rights in the Sudan, also voiced concern at "large scale killings" in the south, where several hundred civilians died in inter-tribal clashes in March and April amid growing violence in the region.

But diplomats said Sudan was trying at the United Nations Human Rights Council this week to win backing from African and Islamic states to block Western attempts to extend her mandate to report on violations in Sudan for a further year.

"I continue to receive reports of arbitrary arrests, detention, as well as allegations of ill-treatment and torture of human rights defenders and humanitarian workers by security forces," the former Afghan deputy prime minister told the 47-member forum.

Are we just accepting it now? Why would we send aid in when there is no security? It makes no sense.

I say we riot. Then we attack Sudan. That way, we can combine French and American modus operandae, yes?

Oh wait.

So why are we not there? Right, China. I forgot. UNSC veto.

I like pie.

Throw some jews and palestinians in there and watch this thread blow up... even though this happens on a scale that makes the other look minuscule.

The Jewish lobby is certainly determined to highlight their plight.

If I really want to see black on black violence I'd take the turnpike to Newark. It is meh for everyone.
