The Bad Guys
Who are the bad guys? Thats a good question. In the situation in Darfur the most common “bad guys” are a group called the Janjaweed. This name literally translates into: man with a gun on a horse. The janjaweed are a mostly arabic speaking nomadic tribe that come from a camel hearder background. They have been at odds with darfur rebel groups for a long time and are taking their agressions out on the people of Darfur with destruction, murder and rape. It has been thought that the Janjaweed are working on behalf of the Sudanese government, fighting the rebels. Although this has not been stated by either group, it is a thought on everyones mind though. Can you imagine, a government hiring mercenaries to attack and rape their own people?
