A Regional Approach to Darfur: Perspectives from Sudan and Chad

While Darfur continues to garner significant international attention, less attention is paid to the regional dynamics underlying the conflict, especially relations between Sudan, Chad and the Central African Republic. The complicated, intertwined dynamics between these countries have been at the heart of instability in the region since well before Darfur appeared on the international stage. This event will feature two recent recipients of the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Award, one based in Sudan and one in Chad, who will share their firsthand views on how a regional approach can help address the region's problems.
