this is kalma refugee camp home to
nearly 200,000 our forest after 20 years
of conflict
the camp has become a city and 2 million
people across the region have been
displaced we are one of the first
international journalists to travel
freely here in a decade the world's
attention may have shifted but the
memories of the conflict are still fresh
here Ilias was 19 when he fled his
burning home in the morning he teaches
and in the afternoon he cuts her to earn
a bit of extra cash somewhere forward of
it
what telegram does Dan Aikido forgot
about secret island the next generation
of their forests are growing up in these
camps all the children study in
temporary classrooms their parents are
too scared to return to their homes the
government of Sudan wants these people
to go back to their areas it says it's
safe enough
there's the peace process ongoing people
here have told me more than once that
it's very difficult for them to move
back to their homes when there is no
security the conflict in Darfur began in
2003 when ethnic African rebels took up
arms against emerald Bashir's Arab
dominated government Bechet responded by
arming local militias known as the
Janjaweed they burned villages and
killed anyone that got in their way
local chefs say their lands are still
occupied by settlers brought in from
neighboring countries for them putting
Bashir on trial is not enough so
Mohammed I here is telling me that
although there had been a shift in
Khartoum the people who were overseeing
the genocide and the ethnic cleansing
are at the helm of power in this country
and that the new prime minister
although his visit at the
government-controlled area he hasn't
come to visit people who are affected
like the people here in kalma
peacekeepers patrolled the lanes of
kalma but not for long in November the
UN withdrew most of its troops from
South Darfur leaving just 200 to patrol
an area the size of England they plan to
pull out completely within a year this
UN base was meant to be transformed into
a new University campus as the loss of
the peacekeepers left the base was
looted whilst government troops watched
the suffering in Darfur was a central
rallying cry of the protesters during
the five-month revolution that Elstad
Bashir lost April but these words echo
as far as therefore this attack at the
end of last year suggests not 50 people
were killed and 40,000 were displaced
when their camp was burned as long as
attacks like these go unpunished there
will be no peace
