This week, Eric Reeves, a professor at Smith College and an expert on Darfur, will be guest blogging at &C. His contributions will add up to a sort of crash-course on the Darfur genocide–moving from posts today on the genocide’s history, to posts in coming days on the inadequate response of the international community, to posts toward the end of the week on what it would realistically take to bring the genocide to a halt. Today: why the genocide started, how it is being carried out, and whether it is getting worse.
So far, I would say this is a must read.
