...change is already a key instigator of conflict in areas like Darfur, where drought likely worsened by global warming helped trigger a civil war that has claimed over 200,000 lives.

And the U.S. has extended its $5 million offer against all the other fugitives who elude the U.N.-backed ICTR. Despite arrests in September in both France and Germany, 15 are still at large...
