As with all PPRuNe subject matter, I do not think it would be wise to speculate regarding possible operational matters, but I see no harm in debating the subject, according to what is already in the public domain. I don't know if you saw tonight's Newsnight report, but it seems the Sudan police, who have been sent to 'protect' Darfur villages are standing by, whilst Arab malitias continue to do their worst.

I really do think this is one for the African Union. It's their chance to show they do not have to rely on the old colonial powers to bring order to the situation. I think we should bring as much diplomatic pressure to bear on Sudan as we possibly can. If we can help economically, we should do that too. Militarily, we should keep clear.
