No Real Change...Darfur still under siege

The Washington Post is reporting that while Sudanese President Bashir was visiting Darfur calling for peace and unity, his army was bombing villages in Darfur. You can read the whole article here:

The article states that "a joint U.N.-African Union peacekeeping mission in Darfur (UNAMID) confirmed reports of daily bombing in the past four or five days but could not give further details."

So is he really calling for peace or was this just a publicity stunt designed to ease the pressure from the international community?
