Another Tragedy: As you probably heard, Sudanese vice-president John Garang died in a helicopter crash last weekend. As a former rebel leader, his task was to help bring peace in the 20-year civil war. His death adds yet another impediment to that end.

The Coalition for Darfur has highlighted some articles on this topic. One highlights the further violence that followed Garang's death. Another analyzes the effects of Garang's death in the long run. And a third one brings attention to a report on Sudan that was overshadowed by the other news. They are all worthy reads.
