A handout picture released by the United Nations Mission in Sudan (UNMIS) on May 28, shows a truck piled high with looted items as it drives past businesses and homesteads locally known as 'tukuls' burning in the centre of the disputed Sudanese central town of Abyei which was overrun by President Omar al-Bashir's northern troops and tanks last week. Abyei's capture in the run-up to international recognition of southern independence in July has been condemned by the world powers as a threat to peace between north and south.

Am I seeing this picture right and they're looting lawn furniture in Sudan? Are they gearing up for a Memorial Day cookout or what? If you're doing some looting and the best you can come up with is a chaise lounge and a few plastic chairs then you really need to consider a different career path because you suck as a looter.
I know what you mean. I read the caption before I really looked at the picture, and when I panned up to see a truck loaded with chairs, I gaped. I guess they can run off to a nearby village and sell the stuff. It will have literally "fallen off of a truck".
North Sudan leaders and army are guilty of ethnic cleansing in Abyei. North Sudan has no right to be in Abyei region.
South Sudan leaders, US, UN, UNSC, ICC and human rights groups have failed the poor helpless people of Abyei region.
If Serbian leaders are being tried in ICC, then these North Sudan leaders should be also tried. Why these Muslim criminals are exempted from punishments?
Abyei region ethnic cleansing or genocides of Christians is another example, how Muslims don't tolerate non-Muslims and how Muslims gradually expand their areas of influence while continuously hoodwinking the world.
