 | ATTENTION: With the violence and genocide currently taking place in Darfur, one could put it mildly that NOT it is a particularly safe time to visit this region. Most foreign governments warn against any unofficial travel to this region. Those traveling there for business, research, or international aid purposes should consult their organization and seek expert guidance before planning a trip. (November 2008) |
