From Amnesty, admittedly via VOA but still:

United Kingdom based human rights group Amnesty International warned Tuesday that the eastern part of Darfur would soon come under deadly attacks if care is not taken to prevent the imminent danger.

This comes after the group said it received reports suggesting that Sudanese armed forces are gathering in large numbers in some towns close to the northern part of Darfur.

Meanwhile, locals are reportedly scared further attacks by opposition or government forces could derail peace talks, scheduled to be hosted by Libyan leader Muammar Gadhafi in the capital Tripoli before the end of the month.

The word "attack" translated

Children bound together and burned, rape, mutilation, eyes gouged out, villages razed, crops burned and evil across the land. Devastation, the delight of a certain type of mind in high places.

Steps

1. Pray, if you are capable, that such will not happen or that something or someone will step in first.

2. Think of pro-active ways we can bring pressure to bear.
