The unprecedented attack on a suburb of Khartoum by the Justice and Equality Movement (JEM) demonstrates once again the urgent need for a credible and inclusive peace process to resolve the crisis in Darfur. It is too early to predict what effect the attack will have on the political and military dynamics of the conflict going forward, but Sudan's ruling National Congress Party is making clear that its response will focus on civilians.
*Correction: The original report mistakenly said that the UN would not have a Special Representative of the Secretary General (SRSG) in Chad. This is incorrect. According to UN Security Council resolution 1778, the UN will have a multidimensional presence in the Central African Republic and Chad - with an SRSG - working in concert with the European Union force. We apologize for the error.*
