By the way, David, if Robyn Dixon is your expert witness on such
matters, then perhaps you'll do us the favor of no longer circulating
pro-Khartoum propaganda here from now on after reading this article
basically accusing the Sudanese government of genocide:

Los Angeles Times, September 28, 2004
ANGUISH IN DARFUR;
An Attack on the Will to Learn;
Sudanese villagers recount Arab militia assaults on blacks' schools.
They say the aim is to rob children of their education.

Robyn Dixon, Times Staff Writer

KALMA CAMP, Sudan

The walls of the school at Kailek village were made of straw and sticks,
so the bullets went right through them.

As the children studied one morning about six months ago, armed Arabs on
camels and horses attacked the village in Sudan's Darfur region and
surrounded the school. They raised their weapons and fired again and
again, gunning down the trapped children and teachers.

The most haunting memory of that terrible day is the sound of children
screaming and weeping.

"I saw the janjaweed shooting the children with Kalashnikovs and
students shouting and crying," said Ibrahim Abdullah, 37, referring to
the Arab militias. Three of his children were at the school.

He tried to run to the school with other parents, but there were too
many horsemen, too many bullets. "We had no chance to help them. We
stopped from a distance to watch, and then we ran."
