Fabienne Le Houérou, Le silence de l’araignée, Paris, L’Harmattan, septembre 2009, 201 p.

The book, written in French, is based on the interviews (in Arabic) of Furawis Refugees in Cairo. Taken from the anthropological film, “Nile Hotel, Voices from Darfur” (CNRS Images, Wapiti productions, 2007, 54 minutes, Sudan, Egypt- English/Arabic), the book suggests that contrary to what the media has presented about the conflict, Darfur is not to be defined as a genocide.  Rather, the war crimes are the results of centuries of marginalisation of Darfur and the product of  Sudan policies.
