Debate about Darfur in the Arab world is characterised by ignorance and distrust of the West
The present text reviews the United States’ role in the Darfur crisis, the policy and positions that Washington has taken towards it since 2003, and the current administration’s actions since taking office in late January, as well as its current policy strategy.
Although there are more than 105 Darfur peace talks and initiatives carrying the signature of the Arab League (AL), the League has not gained a distinct profile in conflict mediation.

The main objective of the newsletter is to bridge the language gap between the Arab media and western audiences. This initiative takes place within the context of FRIDE’s project 'The Gap between Narratives and Practices. Darfur: Responses from the Arab world' and is funded by the Ford Foundation.
The Darfur conflict is a multidimensional issue with ethnic, tribal, cultural, political and economic aspects. Due to the complexity of the conflict, the responses from the different stakeholders involved have been manifold.
In this eight issue (October 2009), Darfur Review covers, among other topics: UNAMID’s reported military buildup in the North of Darfur, and the renewed violence in the South that complicated the circumstances for the national elections that are to take place in April 2010.
In this seventh issue (Sep 2009), Darfur Review covers, among other topics: UNAMID acknowledgement that the situation is calm but unpredictable, which means that the international community must continue their improvement efforts; the USA’s apparent intentions to keep up their interests in Sudan; and the repercussions of the Israeli Minister of Foreign Affairs’ visit to five African countries.
In this sixth issue (August 2009) Darfur Review focuses on, among other topics, the humanitarian situation in the region; the role of Egyptian diplomacy and Libya’s leader and President of the Africa Union (AU) Qaddafi in the process; and the US president's efforts to include Cairo and Tripoli in the Doha framework.
