Sudan's Slaves: Adding To The List Of Crimes In Darfur
from sec.online.wsj.com

Comment from the contributor:

From The Wall Street Journal --

Interviews from released or escaped Sudanese give a harrowing look at the atrocities happening in the region. The abductions are conducted by Sudanese soldiers and goverment-backed Arab tribesman, the Janjaweed. The ultimate goal being to drive civilians from non-Arabic speaking groups from their lands. The land is then seized and repopluated by the milita and Arabic-speaking nomadic groups.
