maybe not evil. but why try to impose something on a significant amount of the population that does not want it, to the point of war? why not create two separate states if that's your intention.

i would gather from what i know, that this war has less to do with "islamic ideals", than with certain economic factors. lands where non-muslims predominate in sudan, such as the Boing region or the southern Blue Nile province are said to be oil rich. The government wants to clear the land.

there are atrocities being committed on both sides in the war right now, no doubt. but the relationship between muslims and non-muslim, especially indigenious africans has never been one of an equal trade of reciprocity when it comes to the atrocities. it is clear who the aggressor was.

in the 1800s, muhammad ali pasha, the egyptian military leader reguarly raided non-muslim villages in the sudan for slaves to be used in his forces. this is an undeniable fact, that even Hasan Turabi, a prominent muslim leader in sudan does not deny.
