The following are excerpts from a series of reports on life in Darfur, which aired on Al-Jazeera TV during August 13-19, 2007. Mind you Sudan is such a mess God knows how anyone is supposed to disarm the Jangjaweed now. The government, having opened Pandora's box, no longer has control:
"The Planes Continue to Bomb Us... The Demands of Our Displaced Persons Have Not Been Met, and They Have Not Disarmed the Janjaweed"
Reporter: "Qadura is the military leader and a founding member of the largest rebel movement in Darfur. He is now the powerful ruler of the Marrah Mountain. His commands are undisputed, and every rock or tree is like headquarters to him. Using sweeping gestures, he told us how he left the Sudanese army, in order to become a rebel."
Qadura, military commander, Abd Al-Wahed movement: "I was a soldier in Omar Al-Bashir's army, but several times I was denied the promotion I deserved. Others with tribal connections were promoted instead. One day, an officer who was training me told me that no one gets what he rightfully deserves unless he fights for it."
