　　Human Rights Watch says abuses in Sudan's Darfur region have increased in
the last six months while the world's attention was largely focused on south
Sudan's upcoming independence.The rights group says there has been a surge in
government-led attacks on populated areas of Darfur and aerial bombings since
December.
        　　A report released Monday says the campaign has killed scores of civilians,
destroyed property and displaced more than 70,000 people -- mostly from the
ethnic Zaghawa and Fur communities linked to rebel groups.Human Rights Watch is
urging the U.N. Security Council and the African Union to pressure Sudan to stop
the attacks and to do more to ensure those responsible for war crimes are held
accountable.HRW's Africa director, Daniel Bekele, said it is is especially
important to step up pressure now, a month before Sudan splits in two.
