This has so many markings of Rwanda...
Why is the USA the only ones condemning government sactioned (either passively allowing or possibly direct funding) genocide? Rwanda was a screw up because of all the politics. Words on all sides like "genocide like events" were used to avoid the need to intervene right away. Why make the same mistake?

However, rather than condemning Sudan, it expresses solidarity with the country in overcoming the presesnt situation. It was voted against by the US.
"Ten years from today the only thing that will be remembered about the 60th Commission on Human Rights is whether we stand up on the ethnic cleansing going on in Sudan," US delegation head Richard Williamson told AFP news agency.
The UN says more than 10,000 people have been killed and over one million displaced over the past year as a result of conflict in Darfur.
