Africa News Tonight: Refugees Still Flee Sudan War, Zuma Cleared for South Africa Vote, Rights Group Sounded Alarm Before Rwanda Genocide

The United Nations refugee agency reports thousands of people flee Sudan every day in search of safety as the conflict, which has been raging for nearly a year, shows no signs of abating. South Africa’s electoral court ruled that former President Jacob Zuma can run in the May 29 general election, overturning an electoral commission decision to bar him. Human Rights Watch says just before the Rwanda genocide in 1994, its employee on the ground warned the U.S. government and aid groups about the impending violence, but was ignored.
