Darfur children dragged from mothers and shot
Topics: Darfur
What kind of human beings are these that rip screaming toddlers from their mother's grasp and kill them?
WHEN the fighters came, the mothers of Jebel Maun could not protect their children. Screaming toddlers were ripped from their grasp and shot; older children who tried to save their brothers and sisters were hunted down.Is Kofi Annan completely blind to the murdering of children, and deaf to their screams, in addition to being dumb-struck as to know what to do? To hell with what the Sudanese government says, forget 20,000 UN troops, take 100,000 troops instead, totally kick ass, and don't worry about taking names. Save the innocent while there are still some to save."Four children escaped in a group and ran under a tree for protection. An attacker came and shot at them, killing one of the children," said a witness in an account to United Nations staff.
Another group, aged five, seven and nine, tried to run away. The five-year-old fell down and was shot dead. Another boy stopped and told the attacker: "You killed this child. Please let me go." It was no use. He too was killed, one of more than 20 children who died that day.
Local people in the Darfur region of Sudan put the number of dead in the attack earlier this month at 63, mostly old men and children. The African Union, which has a peacekeeping force in Darfur, said 92 people died in the eight villages attacked.
It's time to end the Janjaweed,once and for all. Their sick, medieval, tribal mentality has no place in the modern world.
