The two primary rebel groups fighting in Darfur will be meeting in Geneva to receive training in regards to humanitarian issues that they are facing.

From the article:

"The workshop aims at facilitating greater awareness of key humanitarian a[i]d related issues, and securing commitments to ensure improved protection of civilians in Darfur, as well as safe and secure access for all humanitarian organizations."

"The workshop is expected to focus on physical Security — including sexual violence, freedom of movement—displacement — including IDPs and refugees, freedom of choice preventing forced return and forced relocation – and rule of Law, including accountability, justice mechanisms, reparations and compensation, property restitution."

Hopefully a step in the right direction.
