| Gunmen storm Darfur prison, 90 detainees escape |
| 2008-01-15 |
| Gunmen stormed a Darfur prison, setting free at least 90 detainees, officials and local media said Monday as sporadic violence continued to erupt throughout the western Sudanese region. A large group of armed men driving pickup trucks overran the prison in the South Darfur town of Buram, wounding two guards, the semiofficial Sudan Media Center and other media reported. Sudanese police did not comment and would not say who the detainees were and why they were in prison. |

| #2 If that was an official gov't jail, the detainees were probably southern rebels. In other words, the semi-good-guys. Nothing the Sudanese government has been doing for the last decade+ is constructive or legitimate. |

| #1 What's wrong with just shooting the jail stormers? Guards have no guns? |
