An Inside Look at Darfur's Rebels

Today's Los Angeles Times offers readers an up-close look at rebels in Sudan's Jebel Marra Mountains.  In "Darfur Rebels Make Their Stand Above the Fray," Edmund Sanders describes his trip to a place no journalist has visited in seven months.

A rebelled-controlled area, things are better in the mountains than in the rest of Darfur.  Those who live here are isolated from the rest of the country, and many of the rebels don't dare leave for fear of being attacked, but they agree it's a better than the other option - living in internally-displaced persons camps and being entirely dependent on foreign aid.

    You should watch Hussein Askary's on-the-ground report from Sudan's Merowe Dam, on the subject of how this "genocide in Darfur" campaign is being used to perpetrate a real genocide:
