The Times has some good background.
"The Rzigat Aballa Arabs previously formed the backbone of the dreaded Janjawid militia. Khartoum unleashed them initially on the area in 2003 to quash a rebellion by the black African majority that resented rule by the Arab-dominated Government. The African tribes, also Muslims, represent about 90 per cent of the 6.5 million population. "
That is what this is really all about. Bin Laden has called the Sudan a major jihad site. Spreading Wahabism means "converting" these black Muslims and any Christians into Wahabists.
"Sudan experts give warning that the failure to end the insecurity and violence in Darfur could now threaten the 2005 peace deal that ended the separate civil war in the country between the Muslim north and Christian south."
The war on terror should be about stopping the spread of jihad but most in the world don't understand that - even those running the war.
