New York Times: The Rebel Puppeteers of Sudan

I admire the will of those villagers to resist in this truly Kafkaesque situation they find themselves in. If it weren't their children that are being killed by those bombs that are dropped from this antiquated plane, one could laugh at the sometimes futile attempts of the regime to bomb the elementary hospital, mosque and basic huts of this small village in the mountains. It is admirable how people turn to wit and satire to "return fire". It is great to notice how modern video recording equipment helps them to bring their content to a professional level and how the internet helps them distribute it. The puppets show great detail and craftsmanship and it is telling how well they portray their character when one of the villagers says, that he wanted to hit the puppet when he first saw it.

This reminds me of something very important that Alan Moore once said about Satire and how it related to magic in old times: "If a bard laid a satire on you, then that was the most terrifying thing conceivable, because even after you were dead - if it was a good enough satire - people would still be laughing at you."
