The violence in Sudan is continuing without letup. AFP reports that the Sudanese state capital Kassala has been the scene of "organised attacks which last several hours", targetting "bakeries and grocery stores":

"They attack women and children, run into homes, "breaking kitchen utensils and snatching food from the children" and open the doors of refrigerators to get at the food inside, according to one resident, Salah Osman al-Khedr."

Sounds bad. Maybe we can muster an international resolution or something to condemn such behaviour. That'll show 'em.

"He put the phenomenon down to the wholesale cutting down of trees which has deprived the monkeys of their sole source of food. The attacks start at dawn and sometimes last until dusk, he said."

Oh. On second thought, perhaps they should look at the monkeys and ask: "why do they hate us?"
