GOUROUKOUN CAMP, Chad (AP) - Ismail Mohamed Ibrahim pulled up his shirt and showed U.N. Security Council ambassadors the welts on his back, reminders of the burning plastic he said Sudanese Janjaweed militiamen used to scar him.
The Security Council delegation was in Chad Saturday to see the spillover of the 3-year conflict in the Darfur region of neighboring Sudan, which has killed at least 180,000 people in that country and forced 200,000 to flee their villages.
As the violence has spread, some 50,000 native Chadians have been forced from their homes in recent months.
