What we're about to talk about next might be the most undercovered story of human misery on planet Earth.

Twenty years ago, a genocidal campaign in the Darfur region of Sudan shocked the world.

Now, videos and images of new atrocities have captured global attention once more.

About 150,000 people have been killed.

Some 12 million displaced, half of them children.

As another bloody conflict has returned to the region.

Today, my colleague Declan Walsh on what has become the worst humanitarian conflict in decades and the precious metal that is fueling it.

It's Monday, November 10th.

Declan, in recent weeks, there have been many horrific images coming out of Sudan, including what appear to be these very graphic execution videos.

And this is all occurring as part of a civil war that you have been covering since the start.

Tell me what has happened in Darfur over the past couple of weeks.

This is, of course, coming 20 years after another bloody conflict made Darfur basically a byword for human rights atrocities.

Can you talk to us about what is different this time?

These numbers are obviously staggering.

You mentioned 400,000 people have been killed.

And I want to talk about what is driving this conflict, which is something that you have spent a lot of time trying to report out.

And you're reporting one of Pulitzer actually this year.

Tell us about what you have learned about why this conflict has gotten so bloody.

And what did the capital look like at that point after about, I guess, two years of war?

What was it like to report in that kind of environment?
