Daily Darfur

The African Union and others are reporting that the Sudanese air force bombed several villages in South Darfur on Wednesday. At least 100 were killed.

The US is proposing a war crimes tribunal be created to prosecute those responsible for atrocities in Darfur. Given the United States' opposition to the International Criminal Court, the Bush administration is proposing that the new tribunal be housed with the current international tribunal trying cases from the Rwandan genocide. Members of the EU oppose this plan, seeing it as too costly and time consuming and pointless, considering that the International Criminal Court was created specifically to deal with these sorts of issues.

Don Cheadle joined various House members at a Capitol Hill news conference and called on world leaders to start taking Darfur seriously.
