The report, "Darfur in Flames: Atrocities in Western Sudan," accused Khartoum of recruiting and
arming over 20,000 Muslim militiamen, called Janjaweed, or "men on horseback," to carry out
attacks on civilians from the Fur, Masaalit, and Zaghawa ethnic groups who, while also Islamic,

border into neighboring Chad, one of the world's poorest countries.
