Darfur, Sudan, and China

I don't feel that we had enough time in my developing world class today to finish our discussions on Sudan, China, and the US. Here are a few more resources I dug up this evening.

A BBC news article from March 2009 that gives an excellent three-minute read on background and current status of the conflict in Darfur.

This March 2008 NY Times article discusses China's ties with Sudan prior to the 2008 Beijing Olympics. There was increased attention to to this issue as the world watched Beijing last year.

For the more voracious reader, this chapter, focusing on the relationship between China and Sudan, is part of a larger work by Human Rights Watch entitled Sudan, Oil, and Human Rights.
