A Sudanese tribal leader blamed Jews for the conflict in Darfur. Mowadh Jalaladin, a representative of the Barty tribe, said his people would wage a “jihad” against any U.N. peacekeeping force. “The root causes of the Darfur conflict are the doing of the Jewish organizations who financed this armed rebellion,” he told representatives of the U.N. Security Council touring the region last week.
