Amidst the various comments and commentary arguing that war is over in Darfur, that there are only remnants of previous violence in the form of “ very low-intensity” conflict, several recent reports suggest that human security and humanitarian assistance are deeply imperiled. The gradual shift in international attention to the crises in Southern Sudan and Sudan’s national elections, while perhaps inevitable, has worked to obscure the immense dangers that continue to confront civilians throughout Darfur.

There is growing awareness that national elections scheduled for April 2010 will fail on many counts, with unpredictable consequences for the Khartoum regime’s ambitions to retain its stranglehold on Sudanese national wealth and power. In turn, the prospect of an aborted or compromised Southern self-determination referendum (January 2011) looms ever closer, with the potential to trigger unfathomable destruction.

Recent heavy fighting in the Korma region of North Darfur has taken a substantial civilian toll, even as the UN/African Union force watches helplessly for days from a distance. US Special Envoy Gration gives more disheartening evidence of ignorance and disingenuousness. Withdrawals and curtailment of aid by humanitarian organizations continue.

As prospects for free and fair national elections in April 2010 continue to wither, as Darfur’s ghastly status quo is preserved, the National Islamic Front/National Congress Party regime has set its sights more directly on undermining the key provision of the 2005 Comprehensive Peace Agreement, a self-determination referendum for Southern Sudan

Increasingly pessimistic assessments of Sudan’s scheduled national elections (February 2010) make clear that the 2011 Self-Determination Referendum is deeply endangered. If the referendum is aborted, or occurs amidst the grim environment in prospect, it will re-ignite country-wide war

Overview: the National Islamic Front regime continues to engage in large-scale military assaults on civilian targets, including camps for displaced persons; continues to abet violence throughout Darfur; and has established a clear record of attacking, or engineering attacks against, UNAMID peacekeepers; the Nuba Mountains may be next
