Devastation on the streets of Khartoum

Desolate roads littered with rubble are flanked by scorched, windowless buildings.


People wandering the streets were seen carrying supplies either by hand or some in wheelbarrows.

Scorched-earth is what the Janjaweed did in Darfur...

Hat tip to Eric Reeves, with thanks. This footage is truly sickening to watch.
