WAR DEPARTMENT HEADQUARTERS

General Anwar Moussaoui of the PDF stepped inside the wood-paneled office and saluted General Rahim of the Sudanese Army.

Rahim returned the salute and bade him sit down across from his desk. "I'm afraid I don't completely understand. Something about a major who deserted and some Dinka rebels?"

Moussaoui shook his head. He'd never said Hasan deserted. Hasan had run to Bor on foot after his unit was wiped out in an ambush. He was wounded and hysterical.

"Hasan got a tip that some Christian resistance cell was arming and training Dinkas," Moussaoui explained.

"Christian resistance?" Rahim laughed.

Moussaoui hunched his shoulders. "This is what he was told, sir. Only a small force of them, but armed and equipped, nonetheless. Hasan mustered his men and went to investigate. But he was surprised by a much larger force and sustained heavy losses...including two of the new Al Fahd armored cars."

Rahim groaned. "This is what happens when I give good equipment to amateurs. We should put you all back on horses. Where is the enemy force now--are they still with the Dinkas?"

"Hasan doesn't know. I will find out, though, you can be certain."

Rahim waved his hand, irritated. "No. This is an Army matter now. We'll clean up your mess, General. But I want a full report on my desk tonight about how you will deal with Major Hasan's incompetency."

"Uh...yes, sir..."

"This is probably a unit of a new rebel guerilla force calling themselves the 'Sudan Liberation Movement.' They split off from the SPLM because of Garang's rapprochement."

John Garang, leader of the Sudanese People's Liberation Movement, was currently showing a willingness to cooperate with President Omar Hassan Ahmad El Bashier. Bashier was trying to negotiate a cease-fire now, with the carrot of a strategic partnership with the US dangling before his nose. He would dial down some of the violence and terror against the infidels, agree to halt his military cooperation with Uganda, and in return sanctions would be lifted, the extermination of two million black Sudanese would be forgotten, Egypt's hegemony in the region would be checked, and billions of American dollars would come rolling into Khartoum.

Once this budgetary precedent was established, the religious and racial cleansing could resume. Garang and his naive cronies would be dealt with quietly. But the rogue SLM could potentially spoil things, if they found some way to focus American attention on the scorched earth policy, the slave trade, or the inquisition by the Muslim regime. Washington would gladly look the other way, as long as no significant voting bloc in America took notice.

"Perhaps they are working with rebels from Darfur," Moussaoui said. "They certainly fight with strength, as you would expect warriors of Islam to do."

"Perhaps," Rahim said. "Our dilemma with those black devils will get worse before it gets better. But we need to resolve this specific problem now, regardless of its origin. I'll dispatch my armored strike force to hunt them down."

Moussaoui nodded. The Murahaleen Scouts. However large this new rebel unit was, the Strike Force would find them and crush them.
