Description:
The area of Sudan is about half the size of Europe and for the last fifteen
years the Arabs of the north have been fighting a prolonged and unpublicised
civil war against the Anyanyas a terrorist group whose size and numbers
cannot be guessed at. The terrorists who inhabit the wilder parts of the
Southern Sudan around Juba say they are fighting against a regime that is
determined to wipe out and which gives all its money to the already affluent
North. Their fifteen year fight has undermined the already shakey Sudanese
economy because wars are expensive things to wage. Here a patrol in the South
returns to their Russian-built helicopter.
