An overview of vulnerabilities particular to genocide’s youngest victims Eric Reeves December 23, 2005 The suffering and destruction of children in Darfur is an obscenity beyond reckoning, beyond redemption, beyond forgiveness. During the course of this genocidal conflict, the number of children who have been killed, raped, wounded, displaced, traumatized, or endured the loss of [...]

A symbol of political, military, and moral failure Eric Reeves December 11, 2005 Without public objection from any African leader, the next African Union summit is scheduled to be held in Khartoum, January 23-24, 2006.
