Darfur: Death & Fighting Continues

Posted on May 22, 2006
Filed Under General Thoughts |

60 have died recently in Darfur as the fighting continues. Not only that but the rebels who have signed the Abuja agreement are now accusing the Khartoum government of carrying out various attacks and not abiding. These developments are very disturbing but I hope the coming UN Security session in Khartoum will calm things down. The Abuja talks are now over. I personally considered them a successfull step. The coming UN meeting is now the second major one and I’m very impatient to see the results. Meanwhile however Sudan and China are happily signing business agreements together so we can at least expect the obvious postion that China might take during the session.

    Is it just me or are people in Khartoum totally oblivious to whats going on in Darfur? Anytime I brought it up people seemed either clueless or didnt care. Have u noticed this?

    On the subject of China, everything in Sudan is from China! From toothpaste to sandals. China could survive off the Sudanese economy alone :p

    You’re right somehow. It’s simply because they have too many things of their own to worry about. Plus they feel helpless to change the situation. I don’t blame them coz there are just way to many problems in Sudan.
