Obama administration considering intervention in support of joint UN-African Union peacekeeping force, says Hillary Clinton
Sudan's government is increasingly fearful that the incoming US administration will resort to military intervention to end the six-year-old crisis in Darfur that has killed up to 200,000 people and left 2.7 million homeless, diplomatic sources in Khartoum say.
"There is a great need for us to sound the alarm again about Darfur," Hillary Clinton, who was endorsed as secretary of state yesterday, told the US Senate this week. "It is a terrible humanitarian crisis compounded by a corrupt and very cruel regime in Khartoum."

My Comment: I doubt that there is any appetite for another military war from the American public. The real fear from the Sudan Government will be American logistical and military supplies to the rebels and refugees in Darfur. Such assistance will severely undermine Sudan's influence in the region.
Air support can also be an enormous factor in stopping and/or inhibiting Sunda's influence in the region.
But I doubt that Congress or President Obama will undergo such an expedition.
