Not a perfect mood, but I just don't... Well, I don't know if it's... We're

fucked up, but this is how you deal with tragedy.

You fucking hide it.

You know what? Where's that fucking ball?

You think you're a great guy, man? You think you're a great guy?

Why? Because we didn't die?

Exactly. That's all I have to say about that.

Fuck it.

Oh, man.

Fuck it.

We feel fucked up about what just happened.

You know what I'm saying? That we're talking about our friend as a result of

condition. It is so removed.

Why am I shit?

Oh, shit.

That's all I want to do.

Let's go home.

Be alive.

Fuck it.

It's done.

How am I going to go back to my wife?

Yeah, I've done it.

Then tell him that he's gone.

The Chinese,

they gave an interest -free loan to Al -Bashir for his palace.

I mean, how tough is that?

Okay,

now we are here we will be going 200 miles

One in respect.

Please, pay attention.

I will cancel the mission if I do not get complete attention and complete

cooperation from all of you.

Do you understand?

This can be a dangerous area.

Okay.

Okay. So, it's going to take us three hours to get there. We'll be there for

approximately an hour, hour and a half. How long have we been here?

I don't want any discussion.

That's it.

I need everybody to sign the release forms.

Once they're done, we can make a move, okay? Okay.

Turn the radio back on.

Let's go. Let's go.

Let's go.

Here we go.

Hey.

Hey, smile.

Smile the camera now. There we go. That's the game face.

Oh, man, that's hot.

Africa hot, that's what they say, right?

Yeah, Africa hot.

Somewhat.

Somewhat?

No. No, thanks. Okay.

I'm sure I've met you somewhere before.

We haven't worked together, have we?

No. Huh.

You had some big article, though.

Yeah, yeah.

That's funny because everything is the same. Everything's so flat.

Then you have these clips up here that block your perspective of where you are.

That dust dome up there.

Do you want me to take your picture? My daughter wants me to document

everything. It's just a disposable cookie.

You've been here before?

That's cool.

This is my first time.

You guys, it's really hot in here. Can you put on the air conditioner?

What's up, man? Can you slow down a minute?

Ah, no.

Keep going. We have two hours to get there. We keep going now. I understand

that, but if you look to your left, keep going.

We have two hours to go.

About 10 o 'clock, there's a cutoff on the left.

I want you to go straight. Go straight. Go into the village. We are supposed to

go to the village. We are not here on holiday.

We are going to the village. We are here to collect evidence of genocide and

ceasefire infractions. Captain, would you say that to our left, something I

would determine as telltale signs of genocide, of a mass grave?

Any comments, please?

Captain?

Go ahead.

Stop over there.

Let's go and see, shall we?

UN deliberates over whether genocide is being perpetrated in the dark.

Now, this happened because when the sanctions were issued against the

government, the Janjaweed come through, and this is the consequence of that.

I see full -grown skulls and children.

Everybody, the whole village. They would have burned the whole village.

You didn't know anything about this, Captain?

All I can say to you is this is a result of the West's sanctions. It destroys

the people they are meant to help. You're saying the sanctions are futile?

The sanctions, they've done nothing.

Bashir promises one thing to the West, but he does something entirely

So they're kind of productive.

So what about your inadequate security on the aid convoys?

Because they're consistently attacked by government militias, right? And rebel

militias because of your inadequate task force. We are done here. Come, let's

go. Let's go.

You don't want to answer me, Captain. It's a simple question.

What's the AU doing to protect the Sudanese against these attacks by its

government, Captain?

Captain!

Everybody, let's go.

Back to the village. Come.

Peace be upon you.

Peace be upon you.

How are you?

All right? All right. Did you get the gift?

This is it.

Give it to me.

Thank you. You're welcome.

The beauty of the world, my love.

Mohamed, get down, get down, get down. Get up,

get up, get up. Do you need help?

Easy, easy, easy.

Hold on, hold on. A little bit, easy.

Easy, huh?

Jump here, don't fall.

Good?

Hey, come on, move.

Thank you.

I'm going there.

Thank you.

Okay,

gather around, please.

Gather around, please.

This is Solomon, who's the head of the village.

They say you are welcome, that you can walk around the village, see what you

want to do, take pictures.

Now. We're going to be here for about an hour, an hour and a half.

There are one or two people that may speak a little bit of English, but we

somebody to interpret for them. Yes.

So you guys are not interpreter, and also they bought gifts for you and the

villagers. These are especially for this lady.

Okay. Okay.

You will come, the village is open for you. Okay, okay.

Why do you have children?

I want them to go to heaven.

These children?

Yes.

Yes,

you can go.

If you need any... Please, follow them.

I'll call you.

Can you kindly ask the chief if he's seen any evidence of Janjaweed

and government forces working together at any of the raids or any interaction

whatsoever? We don't have a proof about that, but it's clear. The people have an

idea about...

Alamu alaikum.

Do you speak English?

Alamu alaikum.

Let's have fish.

I'm a bit yes, I think That's like

Shamil.

That's Carla Goes that thing

right?

What goes a car if a teflon a blemish

Did you get an abortion?

It's dangerous.

Thank you.

Am I looking at the camera for me?

Thank you.

This number, and the escape, and no one, you know, where they are.

Have you done anything to this village or in the area at all?

He never enters into this village, but he destroyed all the villages

around us, and all the people, someone killed, someone go to the camp,

and a lot of people he doesn't know where.

He asked you why the army of AU, you never protect us.

Why you come after all the village destroyed, and after that you come to

what is going on?

Well, you see, the only thing I can say is that we've been given a very limited

mandate.

Bashir, your president, has allowed us in the country only for humanitarian

reasons.

We have not been given a mandate to engage or to attack, but all we can do

over. We can get food and shelter, and that is the extent.

It's a very good question.

He said always the people from AU Army, he come in, ask what's going on, on what

time that, but no anything happened to us for project or...

to save our lives.

I will try and see whether or not we can bring more troops here.

Whether or not we can agree that there should be more protection.

But as I said, it's a very small process. We are dealing with

I'm just an army man and I have my orders.

But please tell him that we're doing everything in our power.

to make sure that the people are protected and that the villages are

So we have so many problems.

In this village we lose so many children, so many women, they rape.

From the village? Yes, from the village.

But still you rebuild?

You are building now?

Yeah, what we can do?

We keep building though. Yeah, we keep building because when they come, just

destroy. Destroy our houses, like this shop. If they want to destroy, destroy.

I can't live like this.

But why do you stay? Why do you stay? What I can do?

This is my country.

How long have you, your family,

how long have you been in Nalaya?

That one we must sit and then I can show you my history. If you will to

sit with me to see the story.

Yes, that would be great. Okay. That would be good, yeah.

Yes.

How old are you? I'm 23.

Do you ever in your life remember having any kind of peace?

No. Yeah, there's no peace.

Because of my family, my husband, my mother and my dad have been killed.

We're going to get help for your country.

Yeah.

It's okay.

I'm just alone in the family. I don't have any relatives.

No mother, no father.

You're very brave to talk to me.

If you could have one positive wish

for your country, what would it be?

We will make sure that

your story gets told and that people help you.

and your country.

Okay?

The people, they... The people, they

rate me...

The judge are weird.

They go around, they rape the women.

Do you know if they were infected with the AIDS virus? Do you have AIDS?

I don't know if I have AIDS.

Maybe I don't.

Maybe I do.

If I get sick, then I'll know. If I die, then I'll know.

make a point of telling the women or frightening the women, perhaps letting

think that they are infected when they rape them.

I know other women, they say, when they come to them, they say, yeah, we're

going to give you AIDS today.

You're going to die today.

The rapist and ethnic cleansers of Darfur continue to operate despite the

ceasefire agreement and three UN resolutions.

The world's biggest humanitarian crisis is worsening. I'm really...

I'm really sorry and grateful you could tell us your story.

On the way here today from the African Union, their base,

on the way here we saw bones, human bones,

a mass grave.

It's not so far from here.

Are you not afraid knowing what the Janjaweed have been doing to the

Are you not afraid for your wife, for your children?

Really, this one, let me explain to you. This village, it's not easy for me to

leave this village. So many relatives I lose.

This war between us and Janjawi since 88, before we have

been living with Janjawi together.

Because they are Sudanese, we are Sudanese. You've been living together?

Yeah. So you know them? Yeah, I know them because they are Arab.

And we are black.

They are Arab and you are black. Yeah.

But we are all Sudanese.

But is there a difference now than there was before?

Because you both lived in relative peace.

Let me show you the history here. You see this bag?

What is it? All my history for the grandfather I have here.

I'm going to show you right now. This is the history of your people, of the

village? My grand -grand -grandfather. These are very precious. Yeah, it has

been keeping this history.

Talking about the war before. So it's not Muslim against Muslim, but it's more

than that. It's Arab against African.

Yeah, Arab totally against the African.

Pretending, no, this is Muslim, our brother.

They're pretending. This is a racial war. It's a racial. Yeah. It will be

Arab.

Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you.

Great stuff, man. We've got some beautiful stuff there. Hundreds of years

shit's been going on.

Killing each other. You seem almost proud of it.

We're going to have to think about it.

Stop going.

And now we are going.

Long way to come, right?

They want me here.

Stop here.

Not an AU convoy, is it?

No. How far?

About 30 minutes away.

They're heading to that village?

I don't know. I'm not sure of that.

Is there anything we can do?

Don't you say we go back?

We head back. We don't. They're going to kill these people. If we're there,

they're not going to touch them with Western mediums. No.

Well...

He's looking at me like I'm crazy. I said, what did I say? No, I want to go

back. I think that's nuts. I think you're crazy to think that we're not

do anything because we're fucking Americans.

We're here to make a difference.

We can save these people.

You may be right. If the press are there, if we are there, then it's quite

possible they won't touch the beauty. You know that's not necessarily the

Captain. We don't know anything.

Yeah, you do. Come on.

We don't know anything. So the decision is yours.

Yeah. I feel as if I'm a fucking hero.

We're here to report.

What are you talking about? What are we doing here if we're not doing something

positive? I think it's a terrible idea. These people are dangerous.

When we have been there before, the gingerweed compact, we have managed to

protect it. Now, we are not certain that they are going to the village.

You can tell me for sure that we'll be okay? We can't guarantee your safety.

They would be all over the press otherwise. They're not going to do

We have to make a decision.

If you want to go back, you can go back. If you want to go home, you can go

home. You have to make a decision now. You understand? We have to make a

decision now.

I want to go back.

No, no, no.

This is a mistake.

No, let's go back.

I don't want to go fucking back. Okay, let's go.

Guys,

this is fucking great.

I hope you know what you're doing, Kev.

I think it's a good idea, man.

You're pretty handsome in a Dennis Hopper kind of way.

Let's go.

This is such a bad idea. This isn't safe at all. No, we're going back. We can

save these people. We can make a difference here.

That's why we're here, right?

That's why I'm here anyway.

Come on, William. Let's go.

Please stay in the car.

Don't move. Stay in the car.

I need you to gather everybody here as soon as possible, please.

Gather everybody here as soon as possible, please.

Everybody,

everybody here.

Everybody, come now. Quick, quick.

Quick.

Come, come,

come, come.

Okay.

Everybody, the Janjaweed are approaching the village.

Now, we are not mandated to engage them in any way.

They are not enough of us here to give them a fight. So what we want to do is,

with the help of these journalists, and hopefully these journalists present and

our presence, we'll be able to persuade them to move on through the village.

We need to get together. Back to the big group. Back to the big group.

Why are they here?

We are from the AU. We are an observer mission from the AU.

I brought some journalists to observe, to look at the village, to bring

supplies.

We

are

just here to observe, to see about the welfare of the villages.

You know you're not supposed to be here, right? I understand. You are the

journalist.

I understand. So why are you here? We are allowed to observe.

Is that what they teach you at the African Union?

We have been given a mandate to observe, sir.

And we are observing. We are making sure that the villagers and their health is

okay.

You're not allowed to do anything. We are allowed to observe. There is no

observation, Captain.

This is not your district.

You're not supposed to be here. These journalists are not supposed to be here.

You're not supposed to be feeding anybody.

Food doesn't help the dead, you know that.

These are international journalists.

I don't care. I don't care about international anything.

So please take your people and leave if you want to protect them. I've been very

patient with you.

Turn around, tell these people to pack their stuff and go. I will request that

you take your men and move to the village. Let us do our work here.

Really? You think so? Please, let us do our work. You think you're going to tell

me what to do?

I'm not telling you what to do.

That's what it sounds like.

I'm just asking.

Maybe you guys can move on through.

We'll be here for another five, ten minutes. The journalists will bear

international... Captain, I'm going to give them five minutes. If they do not

leave, I'm going to consider them a part of this village.

If you want to protect your people, go tell them right now.

Now, Captain!

You don't believe me?

Okay.

Okay, thank you. Thank you.

He's giving us five minutes to leave the village. I suggest we get in the cars

because we are totally outmanned and outgunned. We don't want to implant the

situation. So everybody in the car. Hello.

May I?

What do you think you're doing?

My name is Bob Jones. I don't care who you are.

I'd like to know if you've had the opportunity to grant an interview.

To the international community.

You take out these villains while we're here. Get this woman out of my face.

Somebody has to teach you not to speak when men are talking. You two, get out.

don't want to see you. I said you have five minutes. Now you don't. You need to

get into your cars and leave. There's nothing you want to say to the

international community? Move south.

Move west. All right.

I can do that. All right. How much? We give you.

In the car. Everybody in the car now. Please.

Please. Everybody, back in the vehicle.

Now.

I am responsible for your welfare. In the car.

Back in the vehicle. We're going to implement the situation.

Now, please.

In the car. Let's go. Let's go.

What the

fuck

is that?

He's right there he's right there

In the car. In the car.

In the car. Come.

I'll show you how to do this!

Stop the car.

Stop the car.

What's going on?

I'm going back.

No, you can't. Get in the car. At least give me a weapon.

I can't. I have order.

Get in the car. Give me a weapon. A weapon?

I have order. Don't care. I thought to go back.

What are you talking about, man? Come on.

Give me your weapon.

Give me your weapon. Slow down, man. What's going on?

I can't.

In the car.

What are you doing? Come.

Come on.

What's happening here? You know what? I'll use my own weapon.

Sorry about Freddy.

What's going on? I'll use my own weapon.

All right, just slow down. Will you just slow down for a minute?

Freddy, you don't have to do this, all right? It's my camera.

Freddy, what are you doing, man? That's my fucking camera. Come on.

What happens if that was you? What happens if it was your wife and your

Have orders. If that was you, I forget.

And you're going to let them be.

Shoot me.

Shoot me.

We shouldn't have gone back. I'm sorry, man. Okay, now let's just get back in

the car.

Come on.

You want to go back?

Go back.

Go. Go back.

What the fuck are you doing? What are you doing? You give him a weapon that is

a...

Everybody else in the car

Give him a fucking weapon.

Come.

Take the others back.

Where's he going?

Wait till I...

Where is your sheikh?

You're the sheikh, get up.

What's your name?

Sheikh Sulaiman. Sheikh Sulaiman.

Tell me, sheikh from Mehtar, how can a sheikh be a sheikh for a group of

And this group of slaves is an independent country. I don't understand.

Slaves are an independent country.

What do you call the country?

Darfur. Darfur?

You know, this country doesn't want to rise.

Sudan doesn't want to be a place for slaves.

God is the greatest, Jamjawid.

Kid, sit down.

Have you ever killed anybody?

Didn't think so.

You may have to.

All right, cover me.

You come here in your AU uniform thinking you can save those people.

You must think this badge on your arm means something.

It means nothing.

No one will save those people. Because just like you, they are black African

monkeys. And no one cares for them.

Come on, let's go.

Go, go, go, go, go.

Go now, go, go.

Go now, go, go.

Thank you. Thank you.

Let him go!

Let him go!

Let him go!

We gotta go.

Let me tell him where he's at.

Sarah! Sarah, it's a cult!

All of them!

Kill them!

We have to make it to those huts.

Wait there for me, all right?

My signal.

We got to go now.

Go.

Here we go. Here we go.

Oh,

God.

All right.

This is it.

I can feel the truck.

We're just going to make it there.

You know this entire mess is because of you and your kind.

You come here and tell our people what to do.

You tell our poor people that they have rights.

And their rights are being violated instead of apologizing.

You're supposed to say we're sorry.

We're sorry we colonized you for so long.

We're sorry we've enslaved your people for decades.

We're sorry we've given you all these weapons to kill each other with.

Guess who has the weapons now?

Us.

We're sorry.

Are you fucking sorry?

I'm going to let you go.

I'm going to send you back with a message.

No.

I want you to tell the West.

The Darfur is now clean of Africans.

What are you going to say?

What is the message?

What is the message?

Look up here.

What are you going to say?

What are you going to say?

You're not going to say it, huh?

You fucking hide it.

You bury it.

You know what I'm saying?

How am I getting no bags of iron?
