Is something going on in Sudan or something?

Dear Diary,

I'm SO confused. I heard a rumor that African Union mediators are at talks in the Nigerian capital, Abuja, to try and bring Sudanese government and rebel representatives together for face-to-face discussions.
WTF is that about? Did something happen in Sudan?
Chief mediator Salim Ahmed Salim keeps leaving me messages to call him, but he won't say what it's about.

I mean, I know that the two years of fighting between rebels and Arab militias have left at least 180,000 people dead and forced more than two million to flee their homes, but EVERYONE knows that. Is there something new? What is all this fuss about?

I hope people still don't think the Sudanese government backed the Arab Janjaweed militias, which are accused of the worst atrocities such as mass rape, killings and looting, 'cuz that's just silly. Anyway, isn't it the UN's job to look into stuff like this?
