DOHA, Qatar (Reuters) - U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan said Tuesday his trip to Sudan this week could lead to Security Council action against Khartoum if it does not act to ease a humanitarian crisis in Darfur.
"Depending on what we see on the ground, the Council may have to take further steps," Annan said in response to questions about punitive measures against Sudan. "If that government is not able or willing to do it (protect people in Darfur), the international community has to do something about it."

Annan did not elaborate. He declined to set a timetable for Khartoum during his news conference in the Qatari capital Doha, but said he would discuss the issue with African leaders.

and thr Black Caucus have been trying to move action on this for a long time now. I don't want to see another Rwanda...but they don't have oil so I am sure they won't help. Besides..we don't have the troops to do anything else now...
