  • Is Darfur a Genocide? (Colin Powell says, "Yes.")
    Steve commented on the article | almost 3 years ago

    Hi Michelle,

    The crucial word in that quote from a British campaigner is "now". Genocide may well have taken place in 2003 and 2004. A skilled prosecutor would have little trouble making that case, although whether he or she could prove it was sanctioned by Bashir is another matter. My argument is that it is not a genocide now. It’s a messy, brutal war. As I argue in my post, this distinction matters. It won't be possible to find a real solution unless we understand the real problem.
    I've gone into a bit more detail here: http://thingsseenandheard.wordpress.com/2009/03/03/the-g-word/

    All the best,Steve

  • Where Best to Eat in Nairobi

    It's worth trying Acapulco in Westlands. It's the same menu as Osteria but somehow a lot nicer. The staff are friendlier andthe atmosphere is a whole lot better.For Indian, try Open House - far superior to the over-rated Haandi across the road.
