Bakit is only seven
I always visit this little guy when I am in Goz Beida. "I want my hands" he told me.Bakit is one of the countless innocent victims of the violence that is convulsing Darfur and eastern Chad. Where are these weapons coming from? The unexploded ordnances that tore Bakit's arms off and have just yesterday killed another child and severed the legs of yet another, were strewn about after (Khartoum backed) rebels fought their way through the Goz Beida area on their way to attack Ndjamena, Chad's capital. Are these weapons of Chinese origin? Are they being purchased with Chinese oil revenues?
