Dear Sir,
Please pardon my intruding into your privacy. This is
occasioned by my desperate need for assistance with
regards to my present predicament.
First, let me introduce myself as Mrs.Wanda Tahar,
wife to the late regional minister, Ahmed Bin Tahar,
who was assassinated by the Janjaweed rebel forces in
our hometown, southern Darfur region of Sudan. Of
course it is world knowledge - The crisis in my
country, where government and the rebel forces engage
in massive killings of innocent civilians, destruction
of the city, looting and the shameful raping of our
women, and children, that which as made over 200,000
citizens, including myself and children flee into
comparative safety across the border to Chad where
French troops provide a safe buffer from the murderous
Janjaweed and government army, as we hope for a
peaceful resolution by the United Nations and Africa
Union.
