Breaking news: Darfur

This morning while much of the media focus is on the Presidential elections, there is worrying news from Darfur [AP][Reuters] -- "The Sudanese army has surrounded camps holding internally displaced people near Nyala in Sudan's Darfur region, and aid agencies fear they could be forcibly moved, a U.N. official said Tuesday".
