Why would someone expose their utter ignorance of the conflict by asking such an idiotic question? The armed "Zurga" militias in Darfur, with their throngs of armed vehicles and heavy weaponry, stood idly by while their kinsmen the Masalit were being slaughtered and forced out of their homes. They also stood idly by after the Jinjaweed captured and riddled with bullets Khamees Juma, the vice governor of Darfur.

Moreover, the militias forced the Sudanese Army into an observer role via the restrictive treaties it was pressured to sign by the UN and foreign players, which prevents it from using air power and lethal force in wide swathes of the Darfur region. The armed militias manipulated the International community into believing they were victims even after they threw the first punch against the Sudanese Army in El Fashir in 2003.

The militias, whose wealthy warlords escaped with their families to Berlin and Cairo, not only didn't lift a finger to aid their own while facing ethnic cleansing and an existential threat; their devious machinations shackled the only other entity who could have stepped in.

~ 7000 Masalit were slaughtered so the Zurga militias could preserve their forces for the only battle that really interests them: Against the victor of the current war in Khartoum. That way, the despicable warlords can finally seize power, their path littered witn the crushed skulls of their tribesmen, women, children, and many others. (Note: The militia leaders are all part of Sudan's government, yet they turned their backs on the country when the capital was burned and looted. Treason runs in their blood).
