The problem is that the 400,000 figure is inflated and the whole Save Darfur campaign oversimplifies the conflict there into black and white. Or to be more precise, into black and brown–the Save Darfur story is that good Africans are being killed by bad Arabs, even though many of those Arab victimizers are just as dark-skinned as the African victims. Even advocacy groups on the ground have criticized Save Darfur, saying it has distorted realities and that its policy prescriptions are dangerous. I’m not offering an apology for the Sudanese government, which is guilty of egregious war crimes in Sudan.

Dat is volgens de auteur dus geen mythe.

Zowel Avaaz als de Volkskrant noemen 200.000 doden.

De Save Darfur campagne spreekt inderdaad van 400.000 doden (zie link in andere topic).
(Coolassprov MC is daar terecht verontwaardigd over als het er maar 200.000 waren!)

Bovengenoemd Volkskrantartikel bespreekt een aanval van soedanese rebellen op de AU-vredesmacht en geeft geenszins blijk van simplificatie.
Ook de diverse artikelen met links in de andere topic geven geen blijk van simplificatie.
