Sudanese president Omar Hassan met with tribal leaders from Darfur this week and asked them to help bring stability to the region. This comes as Human Rights Watch reports that Janjaweed militias continue to rape women and girls in the western Darfur region. Meanwhile, UN medical experts say there is the threat of a Hepatitis outbreak in the Darfur refugee camps. 22 people have died already and the disease is spreading quickly because of poor sanitation in the camps.
