The threat to the African Muslim tribes of Darfur began a quarter-century ago when the Arab government of Sadiq al-Mahdi used military commander Burma Nasr to arm the Arab cattle nomads of South Darfur in their genocidal campaign against the Christian and Animist tribes of South Darfur. Khartoum and Muammar Qaddafi of Libya next armed the Arab cattle and camel nomads of North Darfur and used them to their own purposes in the internecine struggle inside Chad. What observers could visualize then — that the arms would eventually be turned against Darfur’s African Muslims — came to pass. And thus a second genocide was introduced by a savage Arab governing class operating from Khartoum. All civilized nations should have nothing to do with the Sudan. But that, of course, will never happen. In the Muslim world, civilization is a mile wide and a quarter-inch thick.
