"Flanked by 18th century cannons, Sudan's presidential palace stands impressively on the bank of the Nile. At the main entrance, elaborately decorated soldiers stand sentry, toting AK-47s fitted with razor-sharp bayonets. Entering the main hall, you walk under two enormous elephant tusks and between two vintage five-barrel machine guns aimed directly at you. Welcome to Khartoum." (WEEKLY STANDARD) This article discusses the conflict in which tribal militiamen, backed by the government, have been attacking and plundering villages in the West Darfur region.
