>> Simih Yahya's wife saved his life when the janjaweed lit a bonfire on
>> his back.
>> When the janjaweed militia attacked Fareeda, a village here in
>> southeastern Chad near Darfur, an elderly man named Simih Yahya
>> didn't run because that would have meant leaving his frail wife
>> behind. So the janjaweed grabbed Mr. Simih and, shouting insults
>> against blacks, threw him to the ground and piled grass on his back.
>>
>> Then they started a bonfire on top of him.
>>
>> But his wife, Halima, normally fragile and submissive, furiously tried
>> to tug the laughing militia members from her husband. She pleaded with
>> them to spare his life. Finally, she threw herself on top of the fire,
>> burning herself but eventually extinguishing it with her own body.
>>
>> The janjaweed may have been shamed by her courage, for Mr. Simih
>> recalls them then walking away and saying, "Oh, he will die
>> anyway." He told me the story as he was treated at a hospital where
>> doctors peeled burned flesh from his back.
>>
>> Atrocities like this make up the news and constitute the
>> Sudanese-sponsored genocide here in the region surrounding Darfur, but
>> it is also stories like this - of superhuman courage - that keep me
>> going through my reporting here. Invariably, the most memorable stories
>> to emerge from genocide aren't those of the Adolf Eichmanns, but
>> those of the Anne Franks and Raoul Wallenbergs. Side by side with the
>> most nauseating evil, you stumble across the most exhilarating
>> humanity.
>>
>> So this is a column about the uplifting side of genocide.
>>
>> I see examples all the time, from the aid workers who persevere against
>> impossible odds (13 have been murdered in Darfur since May) to the
>> children who carry bows and arrows to try to protect their parents from
>> men with machine guns.
>>
>> One of the most inspiring people here is Suad Ahmed, a 25-year-old
>> mother of two from Darfur. She lives here in the Goz Amir refugee camp,
>> and last month she was collecting firewood with her beloved little
>> sister, Halima, when a band of janjaweed ambushed them.
>>
>> The janjaweed regularly attack women and girls - part of a Sudanese
>> policy of rape to terrorize and drive away black African tribes - and
>> Ms. Suad knew how brutal the attacks are. A 12-year-old neighbor girl
>> had been kidnapped by the janjaweed and gang-raped for a week; the
>> girl's legs were pulled so far apart that she is now crippled.
>>
>> But Ms. Suad's thoughts were only for her sister, who is just 10.
>> "You are a virgin, and you must escape," she told her. "Run!
>> I'll let myself be captured, but you must run and escape."
>>
>> The local culture is such that if the little girl were raped, she might
>> never be able to marry. So Ms. Suad made herself a decoy and allowed
>> herself to be caught, while her sister escaped back to the camp.
>>
>> Ms. Suad plays down her heroism, saying that even if she had tried to
>> escape, she might have been caught anyway, for she was five months
>> pregnant. Or, she says, maybe she and her sister both would have been
>> captured.
>>
>> In any case, however, the janjaweed beat Ms. Suad, and seven of them
>> gang-raped her despite her pregnancy. "You black people have no
>> land," she recalls them telling her. "This land is not for you."
>>
>> People from the camp found Ms. Suad in the hills that evening, too
>> injured to walk, and carried her back. Ms. Suad said she didn't seek
>> medical treatment, because she wanted to keep the rape as much of a
>> secret as possible and didn't even tell her husband, although he
>> eventually found out along with a few others. He accepted that it was
>> not her fault.
>>
>> (She found the courage to give an on-the-record interview that was
>> videotaped, after a tribal leader told her that it might help other
>> Darfuris if the world knew what was happening to women here.)
>>
>> The gang rape and beating were excruciating, she says, but her
>> sacrifice was worth it. "When my sister saw me brought back and saw
>> what had happened to me, she understood," Ms. Suad says. "She is
>> very grateful to me."
>>
>> So, yes, this is a land of numbing brutality, scarred by what may be
>> the ugliest crime of all, genocide - abetted by indifference abroad.
>> But it has elicited the best of humanity along with the worst. In Ms.
>> Suad and those like her, I find a courage, nobility and compassion that
>> offer a perfect contrast to the fecklessness of the rest of the world.
>>
>> There is a video version of the stories of Simih Yahya and Suad Ahmed
