Mass Grave, Memories Feed Fear in Darfur

Sudanese Darfur survivor Ibrahim stands by the site of a mass grave where he says the remains of 25 of his friends and fellow villagers lie, on the outskirts of the West Darfur town of Mukjar, Sudan, April 23, 2007. The prosecutor for the International Criminal Court in The Hague, Netherlands, says most of the killings were done by the Sudanese army and the janjaweed, Arab militiamen backed by the Sudanese government. (AP Photo/Nasser Nasser)MUKJAR, Sudan (AP) - Uncovered by a restless wind, skulls and bones poke above the thin dirt in this corner of Darfur, lying surrounded by half-buried, rotting clothes.

A short, bearded man named Ibrahim, 42, scratches through the sand. He is quiet and serious, close to tears. There are other, bigger grave sites elsewhere, he says, but the bones he is looking at are those of 25 people who he is sure are his friends and fellow villagers.

Some of them were dragged from the prison where he was held and were axed to death, he says.
