Twenty years ago, a genocidal campaign in the Darfur region of
Sudan shocked the world. Now, videos and images of new atrocities
have captured global attention once more.

worst humanitarian conflicts in decades, and how gold is fueling
it.

Guest: Declan Walsh, the chief Africa
correspondent for The New York Times.
