A new effort to end the conflict in Western Sudan is expected to take place today in Chad, where the involved parties will engage in dialogue regarding what the United Nations has described as one of the most severe humanitarian emergencies. The rebellion in the Darfur region of Western Sudan, which has entered its second year, has claimed nearly 10,000 lives and displaced about one million people. Earlier on Friday, the United States condemned a resolution issued by the United Nations Human Rights Commission concerning Sudan. The resolution does not condemn the government for what it calls support for ruthless operations in Darfur. The U.S. has requested that the Commission reconsider its decision after the return of human rights experts from the region.
