The State Department, in a written statement this week, called the 1994 Rwanda Genocide 'one of the most horrific slaughters of innocent civilians of the century,' saying the commemoration puts the focus on 'one of the most difficult chapters in recent history.' Which brings us to the current situation in Sudan, another African country where ethnic fighting in the western province of Darfur has produced more civilian deaths and caused the international community to intervene. A senior State Department official, asking not to be named, refused to use the word 'genocide' concerning events in Sudan, but he said, 'Everybody is very much aware that failure to speak out and remaining silent can only exacerbate humanitarian situations.'
