Days after his administration decried the Sudanese government's role in the killing of civilians as "genocide," President Obama vowed to work toward ending the bloodshed.
But Obama's plans to reshape Darfur policy have been shaken by this month's issuance of an arrest warrant for Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir by the International Criminal Court at The Hague.
Bashir, who displays open contempt for the ICC, responded to the warrant by expelling 10 foreign aid groups from Sudan. And that prompted the top U.S. intelligence official to argue the ICC had undermined U.S. efforts.
