The bishop of El Obeid does not deny the responsibilities of the government, above all, because lots of janjaweeds, the nomadic shepherds massacring the "black" population devoting themselves to agriculture, were "incorporated in the regular army". "What kind of respect will these new soldiers have towards the civil population, which has nothing to do with the war?" he wondered. Moreover, "the government does not cooperate with the ICC: it has always refused to give the ICC the alleged offenders required by the Court. Moreover, the government bombs villages of civilians, who are simply guilty of belonging to the same ethic group as the rebels". With respect to the presence of the AU-UNO peace army, Msgr. Menegazzo thinks that up to now, "it has had little impact on the situation: the soldiers are still few in relation to such big land" and "they don’t have the authority to disarm janjaweeds, the most important cause for insecurity and destruction in the villages. Certainly, the AU-UNO army is useful as intermediary between the rebels and the government for the peace process". However, in general, "no improvements (of the situation) can be noticed": "There is some calmness in the South of Darfur he said -, while in the West there have been more fights in villages and bombing. The number of refugees increased and the aids by UNO and organizations are diminishing", owing also to "difficulties to get permits and difficulties to move", as well as janjaweeds’ attacks and more banditry.
