Text reading: Sudan has the world's largest number of internal refugees. About 6.3m have been displaced since April alone, adding to the 3.7m Sudanese who had already fled their homes in previous conflicts and the 1.1m foreigners who had taken refuge in Sudan. Some 1.4m Sudanese have tled to neighbouring countries since the war began Aid agencies say that more than 6m people are *one step away from famine". Two decades after ethnic cleansing in Darfur, a region in the west of the country about twice the size of Britain, there is again credible evidence of genocide by the rs, which metastasised from the Janjaweed militia that slaughtered black Africans in the 20005. And things could soon get worse. In recent weeks the RSP has chalked up several major victories. Military analysts suggest it could try to take the rest of the country. Conflict monitors fear more genocidal violence. For those paying attention, the stakes are only getting higher.
