Sudan - Khartoum - Muslim ladies in aircraft cabin

During a two-hour flight to attend the first-ever international Conference on Womens' Challenge in Darfur. Women sit patiently in the cabin of a chartered Russian Antonov aircraft during flight to Al Fasher (also spelled, Al-Fashir) in north Darfur where women from remote parts of Sudan gathered to discuss peace and political issues. The short flight saves them a hazardous five-day drive by road, known for extreme acts of violence by rebels and Janjaweed soldiers.
