"What the U.S. soldiers are doing there, torturing people with electric shocks punishments, all these have been shown on the TV," Ismail said. "Instead of establishing an independent inquiry to find out about it and to punish the American soldiers for doing this dirty job, they are saying that they are going to do their own investigation." www.sudan.net
