Three new reports by human rights groups underline the scale and complexity of the conflict in Darfur, which has displaced a million people in the desert of western Sudan and threatens to destabilise the whole region. Human Rights Watch (HRW) launched its report, "Darfur Destroyed: Ethnic Cleansing by Government and Militian Forces in Western Sudan", on May 7. On the same day, the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) published the findings of its April mission. The International Crisis Group (ICG) report, "Darfur Rising: Sudan's New Crisis", was published in late March. A new ICG report on Darfur is imminent.
