QCTimes.com - The Quad-City Times Newspaper: "Rashida Ishag grew up in the central part of Sudan and her father was a leader in their village.

Wednesday night, she shared about the day when the leaders were asked “to collect the youngers” men to go participate in the genocide taking place in the south.

“He refused,” she said of her father. ‘We are same brothers,’ he told them.”


The army under the control of the Khartoum government did not share that same philosophy. Her father and others from the village were tortured to the point of death and then tossed out barely alive. He died two weeks later.

“After my father died, they came and burned my village in 1995,” she said."
