IV. Summarise the given passage to one third of its length. Give a suitable title: (1X15=15)

Hawa Bashi was sure that her son, Hari would die soon. An emaciated two-year old with the resigned gaze of a life-weary elder, Hari had lost his appetite. Even worse, he seemed to have lost the will to live. His bone-thin legs could no longer hold him up; his mother had to hold him as Hari sat slumped under the shade of a thorny tree near the village of Shegek Karo. Bashi's own village, Bahimi, just a few kilometers from, had been bombed, looted and burned in the summer of 2003 by the Sudanese Army and the mounted Janjaweed militia, which the government of Sudan has employed to fight a more-than-two-year-old rebellion in Darfur. (Janjaweed is an Arabic colloquialism for “a man with a gun on a horse."Janjaweed militiamen are primarily members of nomadic lighter-skinned Arab tribes who've been at odd with Darfur's settled “African” farmers, who are darker skinned.)

The World Health Organization estimates that between March and October 2004, about 70,000 Darfuris died of disease and malnutrition in camps, and it forecast that between 6000 and 10,000 would die every month. This figure doesn't include those killed in attacks and massacres perpetrated by government forces and the Janjaweed. The number of dead may in fact be 250,000 to 300,000. In addition, about 1.8 million have been driven from their homes as a result of the government campaign to suppress the rebellion. The United States has accused the Sudanese Government of genocide.

Even though Bashimi and much of the other northern Darfur countryside is now under the tenuous control of the Sudan Liberation Army (SLA) and other rebel groups, Hawa Bashi and hundreds of thousands of other women and children are too terrified of government forces and their Janjaweed allies to return to their villages. They have scattered around the countryside, in the desert and the rocky hills, making new ‘homes' in the shade of trees the locals call kitra. But this survival strategy has been slowly killing the weakest: small children and the elderly.
