Arab Militia Use 'Rape Camps' for Ethnic Cleansing of Sudan (TROP™ wages holy jihad)
The Telegraph ^ | May 30, 2004 | Benjamin Joffe-Walt

Posted on 05/30/2004 7:27:30 PM PDT by quidnunc

"In the evening, the Janjaweed attacked. The area was full of crying from every direction, and shooting," says Ilham Isaak Abakker Abdullah. Aged 13, and light-voiced, she wears a pink dress and scarf and hasn't shown her face in weeks. "I saw many people killed, then I was grabbed by two men on horses wearing Sudan army uniforms."

My local translator stops, no longer willing to delve into her story. "She is only 13," he says, and walks away. Tentatively, she continues talking to me in Arabic: "They tied me to a tree and raped me all night. I became very ill and fell down. They thought I died, so they left me."

Unable to walk and barely conscious, Ilham crawled out of the "rape camp" near Funu, in northern Darfur, where she was being held. "I was very lucky," she says. She found a relative nearby who carried her just over a mile to a donkey, and they rode together a few hours to Abu Lehah, a village that has become a safe haven for the survivors of this secret rape camp. "I was unconscious and stayed there 16 days," she says. Ilham then set out on a 125-mile trek south to Bahai in Chad, where she eventually found medical help.

After 50 years of conflict that have claimed almost 2 million lives, Sudan is now officially at peace — but unofficially, the war goes on. In Darfur, Sudan's western-most region, the people remain untouched by last week's peace agreement signed between the country's Islamic government and Christian rebels. Sudanese soldiers and the government-backed Janjaweed militia still terrorise, and at the centre of their campaign of "ethnic cleansing" is a policy of systematic rape designed to drive civilians from their settlements.

This is total fabrication. I've never heard dan Blather or Tom Brokejaw say this, so it can not be true. /sarc

I believe the Janjaweed are Arab Muslims, who are attacking and murdering black Muslims. It just goes to prove that where there are no 'infidels' to slaughter, the memebers of the 'religion of peace' resort to slaughtering each other. Mohammed's barbaric cult only serves to make people miserable, irritable and homicidal. They do not seeem to be happy unless someone's blood is on their hands.

This can NOT be true....

The U.N. would not allow this to be going on!
The Left wing press would NOT allow this to go unreported!
Amnesty International would NOT allow this to continue!
Black "leaders" in Africa would NOT allow this to continue!
Leaders of the peaceful religion of Islam -- would certainly "condemn" these awful actions and destroy the wrongdoers......

Ooops, I forgot --- all those folks are too damned busy bitching about Iraqi criminals being photographed nude in compromising positions -- and wearing panties on their freaking heads...

All prisoner taking should be ended - the object should be to kill as many of these freaking lunatics as possible.

The world has gone nuts.

Semper Fi

It is Arab racism. They hate blacks regardless of religion and always have.

Wishful thinking about the U.N., liberal press, Amnesty International, African leaders, Muslim condemnation. However, some of us are fighting the good fight to highlight the Sudan issue in the U.S., pressing upon leaders to crack down on the Sudanese government, etc.

well, rape, etc., is okay since it's their culture...a.k.a., as written in the Koran. We have to remember to honor other cultures. To deplore this would be racist. Right?

There are black conservative websites that I read which have been highlighting the issue. They've been hammering both white liberals (American and European) and black leaders worldwide for not helping to tackle the issue, while going crazy over Iraq.

Is it true that Muslims are involved in 23 of the 27 wars going on in the world at this time?

Quite consistant with Islam. Read the Koran, the Al Hadish, and the Sunnah. This is not only permissable, but actively encouraged.

I don't know the precise number of wars going on at this time. But I read last year that Muslims were involved in 31 of 34 various wars worldwide.
