I learned something recently. Janjuweed literally means devil on horseback. The Janhuweed terrorize Darfur. The Devil Came On Horseback is about Darfur. The movie is done by an ex-marine who documented what he saw during his six months as an unbiased peace observer in Sudan. It's horrible. Horrible images. Horrid. To give nightmares. I wouldn't recommend it, because of that, except that the genocide is still going on, now, as I type. Yes, genocide. The U. S. concluded that genocide was taking place over 2 years ago. It's still going on. This is the second Holocost. It really is. Almost 2 million have died so far. I wonder how many more will die before somebody ~anybody~ in the world reacts in such a way as to stop it.
Brian Steidle, the ex-marine, said, at the end, that he had had it all lined up to retire at age 35. House all paid for, money in the bank, he had in mind that he would spend his days sailing the world. But, no more. That isn't going to happen for Brian, now. Not after what he's seen. How could he blissfully sail the days away, when humans are being slaughtered so? He cannot. So, he did the only thing he could see to do. He made this movie, and now he's touring the country telling people, trying to tell all the people, one by one, the true story. The truth is that Darfur is a center of terrorist activities. The population is terrorized. The country now hosts 35 Al-Queda training camps. As Brian tells us, the US government knows this full well. Al-Queda is training in Darfur. They know, but they do nothing. Brian Steidle tells us to write our senators and representatives. I will. Everyone who sees this movie will have to. You should see the movie. It is not for children, or the weak stomached. Truth is mighty ugly sometimes. I think this truth is so ugly most who encounter it turn their heads and pretend not to see. That's why it's ok for them to keep killing. This movie must be seen. Now that you have read this, you must see the movie. You must. I implore you. As a citizen of the world. You must.
