Abuja Deadline Extended

The Abuja deadline was extended by another 48 hours because the rebels have rejected the peace draft. The Khartoum government did accept it however, a move which I congratulate them on. It seems to me that the rebels are becoming too greedy. They feel they have a stronger bargaining position because of the support they […]

The Other Side

This an interesting press release from the Sudanese Embassy at DC regarding the Darfur issue. I agree with it but not fully however.

THINK ABOUT YOUR ACTIONS
PRESS RELEASE | Friday, April 28, 2006

In the early 1990s some individuals and organizations attempted to exploit negative aspects of the civil […]

Jews & Muslims Come Together In a Spirit of Humanity

There were many Jews at the Darfur rally who are very passionate about this cause as they can relate to it. Elie Wiesel, a holocaust survivor (yes the holocaust did happen) was a speaker at the event. Also Muslims, Jews, Christians and people from all walks of life and backgrounds came together in a spirit […]

Dafur Rally A Success

Thousands of supporters gathered at DC in support of their suffering brothers and sisters in Darfur. It was truly wonderfull. My thanks and appreciation to those who were involved and made it a successfull event.

Peace Is Not Enough

The much needed peace in Darfur will not be enough. The WFP is experiencing huge shortages of funds for their program in Sudan. They only have 32% of the required amount right now, so even if there is peace in Darfur, the people there will end up being malnurished and some might even starve […]

Abuja Talks Have Picked Up Again

Thanks to the international pressure, the Abuja talks seem to have picked up again.
“Sudan’s government has already signaled that despite some misgivings it is prepared to sign the 85-page settlement drafted by AU mediators after two years of tough negotiations on security, power-sharing and wealth-sharing.”
Thank the Lord, the Abuja talks are picking up again. A […]

Darfur: It’s Not Arabs VS Africans

There is a slight confusion and misunderstanding. The Darfur tragedy isn’t really racial. I think the only reason the Janjaweed were labeled “Arab” is because they were backed up by Khartoum government officials who have Arab blood.
The Janjaweed are essentially the same race as those being murdered. They are both situated in the western part […]

Congress Members Willingly Arrested & Surprise, the Jews Are Kind!

I came across a nice headline which I thought I read wrongly at first. Apparently some US Congress members demonstrated infront of the Sudanese Embassy at DC, an act that got them arrested. This is so touching lol. I mean these guys were volunatarily arrested just so they could voice out their concerns over Darfur. […]

Sudan Is Going Nuclear =P

So after the Sudanese president’s recent visit to Iran something interesting happened. Iran announced that it would love to provide nuclear technology to its new best friend ie. Sudan. Sweeeeet! The president requested for the nuclear technology urgently because the country’s survival in the next 25 years will greatly depend on it. We need electricity […]

Darfur: So What Happens Now?

So the Abuja talks have sort of ended before their offical deadline.Seems like the government doesn’t want to hand the 4th most powerful position to one of the rebels. I don’t know exactly why the talks failed at this point. There are too many contradicting reports. Meanwhile the US wants NATO to play a bigger […]

You Know You’re Sudanese When…

1. A visa is not a credit card.
2. You have an endless supply of pistachios, dates, and pumpkin seeds.
3. Your parents say you’re becoming Americanized anytime you get into trouble.
4. You curse at your teachers or strangers in Arabic.
5. After a family meal, the women fight to the death […]

Abuja Talks Failure =(

The Abuja talks seem to be a failure.
Darfur now = Disaster
Darfur + UN staying only temporarily = Improvements
Darfur + UN staying permenantly = Invasion???
Darfur + Successful Peace Talks + UN staying only temporarily = HUGE Improvements & Peace
Darfur + UN + Al Qaeda = One big ass GIGANTIC Disaster !!!
Which is it going to […]

Misconceptions About Darfur

Here are the most common misconceptions about the Darfur conflict. 7 more days to go until the results of the Abuja talks are official. I hope they turn out to be good. With all the recent new events I’m even more against the UN taking over the AU. If anything the UN should fund the […]

Sudanese President Is Going to Visit Iran

The Sudanese president is going to visit Iran. The timing of this visit is interesting indeed. I think it’s meant to show solidarity.

Bin Laden Urges His Followers To Start Jihad In Sudan

I guess the UN is now going to have to think twice about replacing the AU in Darfur. Bin Laden called on his followers to start jihad in Sudan if the UN forces take over from the AU. Damn this is bad! To the Sudanese government, step up your efforts in the Abuja talks […]
