„The world vowed „never again“ after the genocide in Rwanda and the atrocities in Srebrenica, Bosnia. Then came Darfur. Over the past four years, at least 200,000 people have been killed, 2.5 million driven from their homes, and mass rape has been used as a weapon in a brutal campaign supported by the Sudanese government. In On Our Watch, FRONTLINE asks why the United Nations and its members once again failed to stop the slaughter.“ (Frontline 2007)

Vbs.tv, „television“ channel of Vice magazine, has a feature about the Sudan/Darfur conflict.
Before I went to Sudan, I didn’t know much about the conflict in Darfur beyond everyone saying, “It’s the worst genocide of our time,” and watching footage on CNN of the Janjaweed militia wiping out whole villages. Really, we only decided to go there because one of our favorite photographers in the UK, Jamie-James Medina, had been chatting with an old friend of his who is now a UN press officer in Khartoum. She offered to pull some strings and get us visas and organize flights around the country, so we said, “Fuck it,” and got on a plane. (Shane Smith – Co-founder of VICE magazine)

„Die Todesreiter von Darfur“ ist ist die deutsche Version des amerikanischen Dokumentarfilms „The Devil came on Horseback“. Der Film informiert über den noch anhaltenden Darfur-Konflikt im Sudan.
Brian Steidle, ein ehemaliger U.S. Marine Captain meldet sich um in zusammenarbeit mit der Afrikanischen Union den Waffenstillstand im Sudan zu überwachen un zu dokumentieren. Antelle eines Waffenstillstands wird Brian Zeuge von systematischer Vertreibung und ermordung der lokalen Bevölkerung durch die Dschandschawid und der Sudanischen Armee. Er kehrt mit schockierendem Bild- und Videomaterial in die USA zurück und geht damit an die Öffentlichkeit.
Bis heute ist die Darfur-Krise allerdings nicht weiter in das internationale Interesse gerückt. Der Film vergleicht daher den Darfur-Konflikt mit dem Völkermord in Ruanda und gibt informationen über den Haftbefehl des Internationalen Strafgerichtshofs gegen den sudanesischen Präsidenten al-Baschir .
