Diagnosing genocide - The case of Darfur

Article Abstract:

In Darfur, Sudan a regional conflict has forced 1.3 million people from their homes and killed at least 30,000 people outright - the fragility of the humanitarian response and the nature of genocide are core themes Darfur also raises the spectre of slow-motion genocide, malignantly engineered by a totalitarian state, crafted to appear to have arisen as the result of a failure of humanitarian assistance.
