Mohamed Osman and Edith Lederer with the
Associated Press reported Friday, Feb. 8, on Sudan’s military claims
of fresh bombings against towns in West Darfur.
Sudan claims the bombings are against rebel forces, but U.N. leaders
warned the security of the region is collapsing, and humanitarian
disasters loom in the wings.
The U.N. officials told the Security Council that
intensified fighting has worsened the plight of civilians and is
hurting chances for a political settlement in the five-year
conflict.
Darfur rebels denied any of their fighters were in the towns
attacked by the government and said some 200 people were killed.
They said helicopter gun ships and fixed-wing aircraft battered
Sirba, Sileia and Abu Suruj, setting buildings on fire and causing
thousands to flee.
"The government attacked using aircraft bombardment, troops and
janjaweed (Arab militiamen)," said Abdelaziz Ushar, a senior
commander with the rebel Justice and Equality Movement.
Sudan's Arab-dominated government has been accused of unleashing
janjaweed forces to commit atrocities against Darfur's ethnic
African communities in the fight with rebel groups.
At least 200,000 people have been killed and 2.2 million displaced
since the fighting began five years ago…

to Arab Wahabist Islamist teaching for Shari’a law to govern the
enslavement of conquered African people groups.
The Sudanese army said its attacks forced rebels to retreat into
neighboring Chad, a provocative accusation at a time of escalating
tension between the two countries.
Both nations accuse each other of hosting hostile rebel groups,
allegations that became even more sensitive after Chadian rebels
attacked Chad's capital last weekend.
Armed forces were able to repulse rebels from the Darfur rebel
movements who have retreated into Chadian territories,” , Sudan
Brig. Osman Mohamed al-Aghbash, said in a statement.
They fled, “leaving behind a huge number of dead, wounded and equipment that is currently being counted," the army spokesman reported through Sudan’s's official news agency.
The Islamist Arab program is to ethnically cleans Sudan, spread the living realms for Arab Muslims, and re-establish Shari’a law slavery, according to intellectuals on the region such as Walid Pharez: “Future Jihad”
