the source of most of the nation's oil and precious metals. As recently as the 19th
Century Moslem uprisings devastated China's Sinkiang and Yunnan sections. The
Sinkiang revolt of 1875 temporarily tore the province from Chinese control. The
eighteen-year-long Yunnan rising resulted in the deaths of a million people and the
near depopulation of the territory's main cities. (Wolfram Eberhard, A History of
China, pp. 301, 304. E.N. Anderson, The Food of China, p. 131.) In the late
1980s, despite the repressive policies of the Chinese Communist government,
Islamic religious leaders in Sinkiang--inspired by Teheran--were once again
challenging "the authority of the secular state." (Robert Delfs, "China's Unruly
Minorities," Far Eastern Economic Review, reprinted in World Press Review,
December, 1988, p. 40.) And in the '90s, things had gotten worse.

56. According to the United Nations International Labor Organization, heavily-
armed Islamic militias ship black Sudanese men to agricultural forced labor camps,
then send desirable women and children north--tied to each other by ropes around
their necks--to become involuntary housekeepers and concubines. Meanwhile,
Sudan keeps these activities quiet in the American media through the high-priced
efforts of Washington lobbying firm Pagonis & Donnelly. (Ward Johnson,

22.)
