Authorities are still negotiating with hijackers; three former members of a rebel group are said to be among 102 on board.

Darfur "does not trouble the conscience of Islam," Peretz writes. "They are otherwise engaged in the hyper-drama of Palestine."http://www.newser.com/story/35003/why-no-arab-rage-over-darfur.html?refid=rss_all_defaultFri, 15 Aug 2008 16:13:05 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/34568/as-darfur-starves-sudan-exports-staples.html?refid=rss_all_defaultAs the UN trucks in food to millions of starving people in Darfur, Sudan is exporting important staple crops to other nations, the New York Times reports. Critics charge the government profits on big agribusiness while receiving more free food in aid than any other nation in the world. But Sudanese officials claim it marks a move away from an oil-based economy toward agricultural self-sufficiency.http://www.newser.com/story/34568/as-darfur-starves-sudan-exports-staples.html?refid=rss_all_defaultSun, 10 Aug 2008 7:52:30 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/33501/sudan-rallies-behind-leader-despite-darfur.html?refid=rss_all_defaultOmar al-Bashir is reviled across the world for presiding over the mass murder of his own people in Darfur, and now the Sudanese president has been accused of genocide by the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court. But within Sudan his rule has become more secure than ever, as opponent after opponent has rallied behind him. The New York Times reports on a political transformation in Khartoum.http://www.newser.com/story/33501/sudan-rallies-behind-leader-despite-darfur.html?refid=rss_all_defaultMon, 28 Jul 2008 6:39:41 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/33249/sudanese-leader-shows-soft-side-in-darfur.html?refid=rss_all_defaultOmar al-Bashir, the Sudanese president allegedly behind one of the world's worst campaigns of genocide and rape, traveled to Darfur yesterday to begin an uncharacteristic charm offensive. "We are with you, Darfur!", the president said, as he danced at a rally packed with thousands who appeared to have been forced to attend. The spectacle is part of Bashir's effort to head off an arrest warrant sought by prosecutors in The Hague, reports the New York Times .http://www.newser.com/story/33249/sudanese-leader-shows-soft-side-in-darfur.html?refid=rss_all_defaultThu, 24 Jul 2008 6:43:09 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/32962/in-sudan-war-crimes-case-peace-must-take-priority.html?refid=rss_all_defaultThe genocide and war crimes charges against the Sudanese president are a solid moral victory, but to actually prosecute Omar al-Bashir would derail realistic chances of peace in the war-torn nation, argues author David Rieff in the LA Times . Indeed, the African Union today called for the Security Council to stall on the war crimes charges for exactly that reason, AFP reports.http://www.newser.com/story/32962/in-sudan-war-crimes-case-peace-must-take-priority.html?refid=rss_all_defaultMon, 21 Jul 2008 9:25:17 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/32509/sudan-swats-away-genocide-charge.html?refid=rss_all_defaultSudan aims to obstruct an international tribunal's efforts to hold its leader responsible for genocide, the BBC reports. The International Criminal Court's charges of genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity against president Omar al-Bashir are designed to engender tension between tribal groups in Darfur, a senior official said today, denying that the ICC has jurisdiction within Sudan.http://www.newser.com/story/32509/sudan-swats-away-genocide-charge.html?refid=rss_all_defaultTue, 15 Jul 2008 14:34:08 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/32377/sudan-president-accused-of-war-crimes.html?refid=rss_all_defaultSudanese President Omar al-Bashir was officially accused of genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity today in International Criminal Court, the BBC reports. The court must now decide whether to issue a warrant for Bashir’s arrest. If it does, Sudan’s government says it will disrupt the peace process in Darfur, and cause mayhem throughout the country.http://www.newser.com/story/32377/sudan-president-accused-of-war-crimes.html?refid=rss_all_defaultMon, 14 Jul 2008 7:32:01 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/32173/sudans-president-to-face-genocide-charge.html?refid=rss_all_defaultThe International Criminals Court will charge Sudan leader Omar Hassan al-Bashir with genocide Monday in the wake of a five-year campaign of violence that has left hundreds of thousands dead, the Washington Post reports. It will be the first time the court has charged a sitting head of state.
