Sudanese Planes Bomb Rebel-held Town

Sudanese government planes have bombed a rebel-held town in southern Darfur. They killed a child, burned homes and sent civilians fleeing to a peacekeepers compound. On Sunday, the bombing destroyed eight homes in the town of Muhajeria, home to 30,000 residents. Many of the residents were displaced from previous fighting. Darfur has had it so very hard and it just seems to get worse and worse.

The government has vowed to take control of the town from Darfur's most powerful rebel group, the Justice and Equality Movement. The rebels seized control of Muhajeria earlier this month from another rebel group that has signed a peace deal with Sudan's government. Anyone who is familiar with this region knows what dire straights these people in this area are in. It is a very bad and sad situation.
