Western media and US Christian support for the Darfur rebels, guilty of
their own atrocities, has held back a peace deal

By the time you read this, there may be good news from Africa. A peace
agreement could have been signed for Darfur, the place often compared
with Rwanda as a cause for international shame because warnings of
genocide went unheeded. If done by last night's midnight deadline, a
deal will surprise most people, since with very few exceptions the
world's press has ignored the negotiations that have been inching
forward under African Union (AU) mediation in the Nigerian capital,
Abuja.
