TT: Security situation in Sudan's Darfur continues to deteriorate with ongoing attacks targetting civilians - je 07.12.2007

Regional conflicts across Africa are hampering the continent's development. And many African leaders are looking to Europe for help. The security situation in Sudan's Darfur, for example, continues to deteriorate with ongoing attacks targetting civilians. The problem is compounded by fighting between rebel factions across the country and renewed violence in neighboring Chad. Government troops there have been involved in heavy fighting since the collapse of a peace accord in October, creating a worsening refugee situation. +++syn+++
