MONTREAL, Apr 14 (IPS) - One week after world leaders warned of another 'Rwanda' in the making, pro-government forces reportedly continue attacks on indigenous groups in Sudan's Darfur region and the African nation's government is refusing access to human rights investigators.

Speeches warning of "ethnic cleansing" and "genocide" of the Fur, Zaghawas and Massalit groups by Sudanese forces and pro-government militia made headlines as the world marked the 10th anniversary of the beginning of the massacres that killed more than 800,000 people in Rwanda.

But little has changed on the ground in Darfur, according to observers.
