In pictures: Darfur horse festival

		Evening entertainment There was music in the evening for the tribal leaders and spectators. The festival attracted prominent cultural figures such as Abd ar-Rahman Abdullah, a wildly popular singer from neighbouring Kordofan, nicknamed the “Frank Sinatra of western Sudan”. Also at the festival was the poet Mohammed Taha al-Gadal, whose lyrical verses called for peace and reconciliation. Pictures by Stuart Price/Albany Associates
