Because of the genocide and suffering in the Sudan, it is not unlikely that the Obama administration will adopt this crisis. But it appears that there is a new chance for peace in the Sudan, where that war is accountable for approximately 300,000 deaths. Bashir appears ready to make peace, which is primarily driven by the up coming election, the country's first in 26 years. Bashir is running against 11 other candidates. The out come of this election is crucial to deciding whether the Sudan will separate into its own separate country. which it most likely will. The potential for violence is enormous. The stance that Obama adopted on the Sudan is one of incentives and punishments, and this election could prove a turning point for the relationship of the United States and Bashir.

I think it will be rather interesting to see not only how the elections in Darfur play out, but also the reaction and response of the Obama administration. I personally think its ridiculous that the UN has not become more involved with the situation in the Sudan, but that makes the role of the United State that much more important.
