BBC: Sexual violence. In the Darfur region of Sudan, it would seem since the expulsion of a number of foreign aid groups, finding out what is going on there has been difficult. But a group of doctors have just returned from a refugee camp in Farchana, in Chad, where over 20,000 Darfuris are living. Being all female, the doctors, from Physicians for Human Rights, were able to talk to women there about their life in Darfur and in the refugee camp. Akwasi Sarpong spoke to Dr Sandra Crosby, one of the field researchers who spoke to the women in the camps and asked which particular story struck her the most.

Agence France-Presse: Chinese Darfur envoy meets Sudan's Beshir. China's special envoy to Darfur met with Sudan's President Omar al-Beshir and pledged three million dollars in humanitarian aid for the volatile region, Sudanese officials said. Liu Guijin "greeted the president for the beginning of the talks in Doha between the JEM and the government," Sudanese foreign ministry official Ali Youssif told AFP. China is seen as a key to ending the six-year war between the Khartoum government and Darfuri rebels because it is an ally of the Khartoum regime, a weapons supplier and importer of Sudanese oil.
