August 4, 2008

Bombings
August 4, 2008 -- Bombings Just last month alone there were three bombings of this area. I am right on the border. The people said they could hear the bombs and see the planes flying slowly above. The bombs are meant to scare the JEM but it terrifies the people.

listening to the refugees at Oure Cassoni --on the Chad/Darfur border

Refugee, on the subject of postponing the ICC indictment of Omar Al-Bashir:

"Why should they give Bashir 12 months of grace when in 5 years we have not known one day of peace?" (make that 22 years for Southern Sudan.)

Woman Refugee
"My hope for the future is that there will be peace in Darfur so that we can go home.. For there to be peace, the president of Sudan must be arrested and taken to court . He has caused so much suffering. Omar Al-Bashir has killed children, he has bombed us and terrified us. He should be taken and executed."

The entire group of woman cheered.

Woman Refugee
"The rebels formed when people of Darfur began to understand they have no rights. Al-Bashir is trying to kill the people, not just the rebels. He is bombing civilians."

Woman Refugee
"Not only Al-Bashir but 52 more should be taken to court.."

Woman Refugee
"We want two things: peace in Sudan and punishment for Al-Bashir and all the criminals who have done this to us."

Youths of Oure Cassoni
"We need Security and peace. Security cannot be delivered by the AU. They have watched us die for 5 years. And we need not the Hybrid but an international peacekeeping force. We need compensation. Representation in government. Punishment for Al-Bashir."

One young man held up his hand and, pointing to his palm, said "this side is the government of Sudan" then pointing to the back of his hand said "this side is the AU."
