Troubles in Sudan, "No Peace, Only War"

10 years after Rwanda, Sudan is having problems with "ethnic cleansing". The UN is sending an aid mission to investigate.

Some 670,000 people have fled "ethnic cleansing" by Arab militias in Darfur but remain in Sudan, with little aid. Thousands of people had been killed in the region and there were reports of mass rape by the Arab militias.

UN Emergency Relief Coordinator Jan Egeland described it as one of the world's worst humanitarian crises.
