 ANKA, Sudan (AP) - With violence high in Darfur's refugee camps, some of those driven from their homes are choosing to stay away, living in rebel-controlled areas in constant fear of government or militia attack. They struggle to stay alive with little access to outside humanitarian aid.
Jabr Ali is one of them. On a recent day, the farmer crouched next to a pile of thorns and carefully lifted one branch, pointing to an unexploded bomb that lay stuck in the sand near his mud hut home.
He had put the pile of thorns around the shell to prevent his 10 children from getting near, and to avoid losing more cattle. More than a dozen cattle had died during the air raid when the bomb was dropped a few weeks earlier. Ali blamed government airplanes.
