From the New York Times online:

> [@The New York Times](#):
>
> NYALA, Sudan, Aug. 28 — Some of the same Arab tribes accused of massacring civilians in the Darfur region of Sudan are now unleashing their considerable firepower against one another in a battle over the spoils of war that is killing hundreds of people and displacing tens of thousands.
> 
> In the past several months, the Terjem and the Mahria, heavily armed Arab tribes that United Nations officials said raped and pillaged together as part of the region’s notorious janjaweed militias, have squared off in South Darfur, fighting from pickup trucks and the backs of camels. They are raiding each other’s villages, according to aid workers and the fighters themselves, and scattering Arab tribesmen into the same kinds of displacement camps that still house some of their earlier victims.

I’m gonna have a lot of difficulty mustering sympathy for these people … it’s as if the Nazis were fighting it out among themselves … all you can think is, “Have fun, motherf\*ckers!” With any luck, they’ll wipe each other out.

I wish. The problem is that fuckers like these don’t seem to die as a whole group. They just get better and better at killing people, like the LA street gangs.

What we really need is an Arab Batman to cruise around Darfur knocking heads together.

It’s too simplistic to just label them all as scum, there are probably a lot of child soldiers who don’t have any choice in the matter.
