This is a short, four year old report from Sudan’s Darfur region, which includes interviews with atrocity survivors and other visual evidence of the tortures the people there have endured. Ongoing refugee camp conditions offer no end to the genocide—200 hundred people were dying each day in them in 2003—except for those who manage to escape to camps in Chad. Relevant officials are interviewed, the Sudanese foreign minister, a Janjaweed chief Musa Hilal, and relief workers, but background providing context for their statements is not provided. The Sudanese government believes the crisis is being trumped up by the U.S. and the U.N., but the complex origins of the problem are not adequately explained. Recommended only for comprehensive collections in this area.
