38 Sudan to Chair African Union?

What can anyone say about such a patently bad idea? This has been simmering for a year. Why is anyone still talking about it? If Sudan’s claims to have lined up the support of 12 African governments are true, I’d be very interested to hear those governments’ justifications given the Sudanese government’s obstructionist stance toward the African Union protection force in Darfur and its problems with its neighbors.

Human Rights Watch has released a wonky new report on what can be done to improve the AU mission to Darfur, pegged to the summit taking place today. This is spinach worth eating.
