I attended a talk on the situation there, put on by 4 Sudanese people (including one of the "lost boys of Sudan") and an outside observer...

From what they said, this makes absolute sense. The Sudanese government has more than enough manpower to end the problem. They're obstructing AU efforts to do anything with what little they have. They indicated that this was not a 'thug' problem as the 'rebels' are described. They suggested that the rebels aren't rebels at all - they're either state agents of genocide, or at the least something that the govt could easily stop. It's contentious, but then again, do lines like the one SD posted make any sense outside of that context?
