Important ALERT*
My contacts along the Chad Darfur borderland have told me that for the past week, Sudanese bombers had been flying low over the Oure Cassoni refugee camp, terrifying already traumatized refugees. On May 28th the bombings began within view and earshot of the camp. Witnesses report at least seven bombardments since the 28th. People were killed.
The point is, Khartoum is now conducting bombing raids on sovereign Chadian territory. The refugees are defenseless and unable to leave the camp which is situated deep in the desert. For obvious security reasons, aid workers have been unable to reach the camp.

 Incidentally, the camp is not far from Chadian President idris Deby's home village. The refugees at Oure Cassoni camp are mostly Zaghawa -the same tribe as Deby.
