What are those people smoking over there, Janjaweed, or "men on horseback," ????????????

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, are of African origin and make up the majority of the region's settled population.
