Darfur in the Shadows: the Sudanese Government’s Ongoing Attacks on Civilians and Human Rights, calls on the African Union, United Nations, United States and other concerned governments to take a firm and unified
position, pressing Sudan to immediately end deliberate attacks on civilians, indiscriminate aerial bombing, and arbitrary detention and torture of activists. They should also hold Sudan to its public commitment to repeal emergency laws and press it to reform the National Intelligence and Security Service (NISS) – both key tools of government repression -- and seek measurable progress on accountability for human rights violations, including cooperation with the International Criminal Court on the prosecution of Darfur cases.
