#1 The Messalit, Fur, Berti, Zaghawa and Toubou tribes that are under attack by Arab cattle nomads (baggara) are African and came late to Islam. The baggara, generally as Africanized as the tribes they attack, are supported by the Nile River Arabs who though intermixed with Africans like to trace their roots to Saudi Arabia. Their leaders are a racist pack of jackals who have been carrying on their own war against the Southern Sudanese since Sudanese independence in 1955.
Since independence, the tribes of the periphery have argued that the core (the Khartoum Arabs) could care less about them. And this can be visualized as yet another effort by the periphery to be free of a vicious uncaring government whose leaders are only bent on feathering their own nest.
