  • What an Activist Should Be: On Mamdani's Critique of Save Darfur
    Jon commented on the article | almost 3 years ago

    What we have in the region is a lawless state, in which the official government in Khartoum has abandoned any pretense of lawful governance, and given the Janjaweed a license to kill any denizen they find of a different tribe than themselves. In legal terms they are pirates, subject to being killed by anyone who can catch them. You don't get such people to become peaceful by singing Kumbaya to them. You need to understand that they kill and torture for the fun of it. Most civilized people have trouble getting into the heads of such people, who become addicted to the thrill of killing. There is only one cure for that addiction.

    It wouldn't take that many spec ops guys to take them out. Maybe 200, with logistical and air support. I know a lot of guys who could do it, and would probably be willing, although I would recommend they get letters of marque and reprisal to provide a legal cover.

    The latest call to get investors to pressure Khartoum is pathetic. No economic pressure can nfluence that regime. There is only one thing that is going to save the people of Darfur, and that is to send in a special ops team to take out the Janjaweed and the supporting troops of the Khartoum regime.

    Never make the mistake of calling the Janjaweed "militia". Militia is defense activity of persons broadly representative of all the people. The Janjaweed are armed partisans, the opposite of militia.
