March 27, 2007, Washington, DC - "The Answer to Darfur: How to Resolve the World's Hottest War", presents a comprehensive plan for resolving the crisis in Darfur. This strategy paper is the first in a series to be released by ENOUGH, a joint initiative of the International Crisis Group and the Center for American Progress.

Authored by Senior Advisor to the International Crisis Group John Prendergast, the paper calls for intensified U.S. and international engagement to resolve the crisis in Darfur, backed by a series of punitive measures that go beyond the Bush administration's vague "Plan B" threats.

The paper proposes a "Rubik's cube" of policy recommendations - all six of which must be pursued simultaneously - to bring an end to the conflict. Specifically, Prendergast argues that the U.S. and the international community must: support rebel unity; build an effective peace process; secure full-time, high-level U.S. diplomacy; accelerate military planning and action for protection; impose punitive measures now; and ramp up global citizen activism.

Ultimately, ENOUGH concludes that with the right policies and increased levels of engagement on the issue, Darfur might be stabilized within a year. "If not," Prendergast said, "it is almost a foregone conclusion that hundreds of thousands more will be killed on our watch in 2007."
