Images of Darfur

Crisis Group presents here a never before shown Arabic-language documentary filmed by the Al-Arabiya Channel, entitled "Jihad on Horseback". The documentary contains testimonies from Darfur refugees residing in camps in both Chad and Sudan, interviews with Janjaweed leader Mussa Hilal, government officials and rebel leaders.

Access to Darfur and neighbouring regions has been relatively limited for both news and humanitarian organisations. However, some images of the current crisis in Darfur have emerged, providing an understanding of the physical context of the violence and the suffering of Darfur's people.

A Sudanese woman holds her sick child at a camp in next to the Medecins Sans Frontieres hospital (MSF) in Tine, Chad, Januray 26, 2004. Sudanese refugees fleeing into Chad say the government has stepped up its bombing campaign in the past two weeks, accusing government forces of targetting areas only inhabited by civilians. Fighting between Sudan's government forces and rebels has intensified in the west of the country in the past year, in contrast to progress towards ending a seperate, 20- year civil war in the country's south.
