د. عائشة البصري أمام الكونغرس اليوم: الحكومة السودانية إرتكبت جرائم حرب و إبادة جماعي في دارفور

The following is a brief summary of some of the information withheld by DPKO-drafted reports,
which kept the Security Council in the dark, taking misinformed decisions:
 Institutionalization of the Janjaweed: Through its Resolution 1556 (2004), the Security
Council demanded that Khartoum disarm within 30 days the Janjaweed militias accused

of committing atrocities. The Sudanese regime violated the resolution and defied the
Security Council by institutionalizing these death squads. The government absorbed a
number of the Janjaweed into its state auxiliary forces as the Border Guards and Central
Reserve Police. These uniformed Janjaweed operated in concert with Sudanese Armed
Forces during ground attacks on civilians, along with Arab fighters on camels and horses.
 Ethnic targeting of Zaghawa tribes: the Popular Defense Forces (PDF) are paramilitary
forces established around 1989. They used to be recruited from Arab and non-Arab
Darfuris. But since late 2010, the Sudanese government changed the ethnic make-up of
the PDF by limiting the recruitment to non Arab tribes, mostly Berti and Birgit, who held
feuds and grievances against the Zaghawa tribes. UNAMID code cables spoke in length
about the government political calculations behind the militarization of these two tribes
and how they launched them against the Zaghawa, in a clear ethnic targeting campaign.
 Deliberate and indiscriminate bombing of civilians: The Sudanese Air Force continued
to deploy attack helicopters and Antonov aircraft in violation of the UN arms embargo.
 Rebels war crimes: various rebel factions committed what may amount to war crimes
against civilians, including physical assaults, abduction, #####ng and possible use of the
local population as human shields; and,
 Attacks against peacekeepers: frequent attacks by government forces against
UNAMID peacekeepers, especially the deadly double attack on the Mission troops on 18-
19 April 2013 in Muhajeria. So far, over 60 peacekeepers were killed in hostile action in
Darfur.
