Sadik Omar Abdaraman, 35, a farmer and cattle owner, is now living with his family in Kalma camp. On March 1, 2004, his farming village was attacked by the Janjaweed, the Arab militiamen in Darfur who the United Nations says are conducting a campaign of “ethnic cleansing.” Abdaraman and his neighbors belong to the Fur tribe and were thus a target for the Janjaweed’s campaign against the region’s African inhabitants. He ruefully recalls that some of his attackers belonged to a nearby Arab tribe, and he had known them since childhood. He is featured in the Nov./Dec. ‘04 issue of a Common Place magazine.
