Attack on Darfur Page #3

---

How old are you?

Do you ever remember in your

life having any kind of peace?

Yeah.

That's so sad.

We're going to get help

for your country.

It's okay.

You're very brave

to talk to me.

I can understand how hard

this must be for you.

Thank you.

If you could have

one positive wish

for your country,

what would it be?

We will make sure

that your story gets told

and that people help you

and your country.

Okay?

The people, they-

They people,

they raped me.

It's the Janjaweed.

They go around

and rape the women.

Do you know if they are infected

with the AIDS virus?

Do you have AIDS?

I don't know

if I have AIDS.

Maybe I don't.

Maybe I do.

If I get sick,

then I'll know.

If I die,

then I'll know.

Do they make a point

of telling the women,

frightening

the women perhaps,

letting them think they are

infected when they rape them?

I know other women,

they say-

When they come to them

they say,

"Yeah, we're going to

give you AIDS today.

You're going to die today."

The rapists and ethnic cleansers

of Darfur continue to operate

despite the ceasefire agreement

and three UN resolutions.

The world's biggest humanitarian

crisis is worsening.

I'm really...

I'm really sorry

and grateful you could

tell us your story.

On the way here today

from the African Union,

their base-

On the way here

we saw bones,

human bones,

a mass grave,

and it's not so far from here.

Are you not afraid,

knowing what the Janjaweed have

been doing to the villagers?

Are you not afraid for

your wife, for your children?

You were together.

So you know them.

They are Arab

and you are black.

Is there a difference now

than there was before,

because you both

lived in relative peace?

What is this?

This is the history of

your people, of the village?

These are very precious?

So it's not Muslim

against Muslim.

It's more than that.

It's Arab against African.

It's a racial war.

Thank you very much.

Thank you.

Great stuff, man. We got

some beautiful stuff there.

Hundreds of years

this sh*t's been going on,

killing each other.

They seem

almost proud of it.

F***.

Yeah.

I know you're right.

I'm trying

not to think about it.

As-Salamu Alaykum.

We have to go.

We have to leave now.

We have to get back

before it gets dark.

We are going.

Look, down here.

Stop here.

It's not an AU convoy,

is it?

No. The Janjaweed

are approaching.

How far?

About 30 minutes away.

They're heading

to that village?

I don't know.

I can't be sure of that.

Is there anything

we can do?

I say we go back.

We head back.

If we don't,

they're going to

kill these people.

If we're there,

they're not going to touch them
