When Jihad Goes Bad [Dan Collins]

At the NYT:

Some of the same Arab tribes accused of massacring civilians in the Darfur region of Sudan are now unleashing their considerable firepower against one another in a battle over the spoils of war that is killing hundreds of people and displacing tens of thousands.

The static nature of life in El Rouhal, a camp near Kas, is hard for elders of the Terjem tribe, who traditionally roam the land for part of the year.

In the past several months, the Terjem and the Mahria, heavily armed Arab tribes that United Nations officials said raped and pillaged together as part of the region’s notorious janjaweed militias, have squared off in South Darfur, fighting from pickup trucks and the backs of camels. They are raiding each other’s villages, according to aid workers and the fighters themselves, and scattering Arab tribesmen into the same kinds of displacement camps that still house some of their earlier victims.

Bush’s fault.

    One would think that they were banditti or something like that?!

    . . . fighting from pickup trucks and the backs of camels.

    Damn! That’s better than NASCAR and WWF combined! Has anybody started negotiating for the Pay Per View rights?
