Click Here For David Nally: Genocide in Darfur?

"In his interview with the Washington Post (which I mentioned above) sheik Musa Hilal responded to the charge of genocide in frighteningly plain language. 'No one can wipe out an ethnicity,' he said [11]. 'Never, never, never. No massacres,' echoed Abdul-Rahim Mohammed Hussein, Minister of the Interior, and the man tasked by Sudan's President with resolving the crisis. 'There have been no massive massacres--and no one can prove there have been' [12]. Here in plain speech the essential issue seems to lie: no one is willing to 'claim' the victims in Darfur--not even their oppressors. We thus have an almost preposterous situation of victims without oppressors and massacres without crimes."
