    1992, p. 34. The Sinkiang region commands fully a sixth of China's territory and is

    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,
