Regardless of the opposing stances taken by different parties involved in Sudan's Darfur crisis, the focus should always be on how to put an end to it. The continuation of the current stand-off could be harmful - mainly from the humanitarian perspective of the problem.
The United Nation's recent resolution, which gave the Sudanese government a month to bring the militias in Darfur under control or face international action, has created havoc as far as the issue is concerned. The Arab League in its latest meeting rejected any sanctions or international military intervention as an approach. It has further expressed its backing for the Sudanese government in its attempt to disarm the militias and punish human rights violators. "We are really committed to disarm whoever is acting outside the law," said Sudanese Vice President Ali Osman Taha.
What is really required here is that the issue does not fall within the domain of it turning over time into a problem that goes on unresolved. The League's commitment to help Sudan and the international community to resolve the conflict peacefully should get a chance - given that all sides including the Sudanese authorities facilitate that such a resolution becomes a reality.
