What a mess! What a damn mess. For anybody who thinks the extremists in Iraq or Afganistan are evil, they apparently haven't heard much on the Sudan.
The Janjaweed are hella good fun.
In a typical day they have the government shut down the cell phones so they can, with the help of government helicopters, go into a village and kill every man, woman and child.
They rape the women first of course, still everything that might be of value, and set fire to the village and move on to the next.
Of course the Sudanese government isn't responsible.
I mean, never mind that they use the control they have over the cell phones to disallow any warning to the villages that are going to be slaughtered.
Never mind that it's their helicopters that are shooting missiles, and not just any kind of missiles, but ones that are like massive shot-gun shells, into the villages.
Yep, fun group of folks.
If you want to learn more, only if your day isn't cheery enough, or you actually care about this.
This is yesterday's "Fresh Air" from NPR.
