An insider’s view of the Sudanese jihad. Muslims are often quick to play the victim card and quickly point to Iraq and Afghanistan as “proof” but anyone that ever wore the American uniform understands the difference between a professional soldier and an armed mob. Read this and you will too.

Colonel Samir Jaja’s orders to the assembled soldiers before their dawn attack on the village were absolutely clear: “Don’t leave anybody alive. If we leave these people in this place, they will support the rebels against the government. The area must be emptied so the rebels can’t find any help and have to leave the country.”
B Kajabier, 34, a Sudanese army deserter, describes the scene just before Sudanese army troops stormed a village in southern Darfur, Sudan, in April 2003. Colonel Jaja addressed his 400 troops, most of them Arab, but some African, after they descended from their vehicles. There were more precise commands.
“Rape the women, kill the children. Leave nothing,” Jaja said.
-mohammed would be proud of his minions.
Six years later Kajabier, who has now fled Sudan, has decided to speak out against the Sudanese government.
“My people are suffering, and I want the world to respond,” he said, speaking through an interpreter.
After the April attacks, Kajabier refused to take part in any more raids. He said he was tortured for his insubordination and during the interview pulls up his trouser legs to show the scars from where molten rubber seared flesh.
“When they burned the tyre, they hung it from the tree and it was dripping,” he said. A few days later, Kajabier and two other soldiers deserted while the troops were marching through narrow mountain roads.
“We wanted to desert because we were being ordered to kill our own people,” the former Sudanese soldier said.
He eventually joined the rebel Justice and Equality Movement (Jem) before fleeing the country.
In the interview, Kajabier made it clear that Sudanese armed forces committed the atrocities, as well as the Arab militia known as the Janjaweed, or devils on horseback.
Kajabier, an African from Darfur who was conscripted into the Sudanese army, said he took part in attacks on several villages in April 2003.
-Even without the mention of islam’s role in this conflict or the word “jihad” the Arab connections gives everyone a clue. (more…)
