The mystery of Mirair and the official answers that do not add up

[gottaB]

Mirair lies in the cradle of a lush green valley, well-watered when the rains come and surrounded by fertile farmland. It is also the trading centre for 12 other villages, with a thriving and lucrative souk.

Today, half of the population of 6,000 has disappeared, with little trace to show they were ever there. The evidence of what happened to them is in the bullet holes on walls, and a row of anonymous graves of brown earth across the fields.

The village had a mixed African and Arab population. It is the African half which is missing, and some of their homes have been taken over by the Arab Janjaweed militia and the government security forces.
