"In the evening, the Janjaweed attacked Um Dirasay (a tiny village near Funu in Northern Darfur). The area was full of crying from every direction and shooting all over," she said, as a friend translated her words from her native Zarawa language to English. "I saw many people killed. Then I was grabbed by two men on horses wearing Sudanese army uniforms."
