Full Article

Comment from the contributor:

 
Hejewa Adam was involved in a two-week battle with government forces and Janjaweed in August of 2008. She, and most of the other rebels who appear in Darfur Now, survived and have since returned to areas near those shown in the film. Her group has also expanded the area under their control, which now includes the village where Hejewa lived prior to the eruption of the crisis.
