FREE THE EGYPTIAN ACTIVISTS!!!

So most of you have already heard about the arrest of Egyptian blogger Alaa and other Egyptian activists… their crime?? Simply protesting peacefully and voicing their opinions. THAT’S IT! Simply protesting peacefully. Click on Alaa’s picture to get information on the developments. You can also check out sandmonkey’s and BP’s updates.

Anyways whities don’t get surprised […]

Homesick…

As I sit infront of my screen, I can’t help but feel home sick today. I truly miss Sudan and everything about it. I miss the sandstorms, the annoying morning flies that buzz around your head and force you to wake up. I miss the food, the Nile, the women (don’t blame me I’ve been […]

Sudan Welcomes UN Peacekeepers

So after the Darfur peace deal has been signed, the government of Sudan is now welcoming the UN peacekeepers in Darfur. Seems like things are moving smoothly… so far that is. The burden will now be on the UN’s shoulders mostly so let’s hope they do a good job. On the other hand, a French […]

YES THEY’RE GOING TO SIGN!

Aaaah Finally! This is truly a happy day for me and many other people. The main and most powerful rebel group has agreed together with the Khartoum government on a Darfur peace deal. This could not have happened if it wasn’t for the efforts on all sides and the compromises that the Khartoum government made. […]

Jews as Depicted in Islam & The Questions That Follow

Check out the contrast between the two sources just to give you an idea of how interpretations can influence followers and their behaviours. This is especially true to those Muslims who just listen, absorb and follow with no questions or any self critical thinking whatsoever.

1- Very political perspective

The Qur’anic description of Jews is quite impartial; […]

If Islam Ruled the World

Here’s a lovely post by Qatar Cat entitled “If Islam Ruled the World” (the correct term would be Islamists… Right? Wrooong. This term is already in the mainstream but I don’t like it because it gives the impression that those extremists who do the most un-Islamic things are somewhat Islamic when they’re actually not) . […]

Abuja Talks: No Progress Yet

Yup, unfortunately there’s nothing new. Seems like this is going to end up where it started and probably even worse. The rebels are still begging and pleading to America oh great America for help. They want what most hungry people want… more, more & MORE! Unsatisfied with the conditions, they still refuse to sign the […]

Why Not Amend the Constitution?

Since one of the central issues causing the disagreement is the vice-president position, why not just amend the constitution to allow 2 more slots. One for Darfur and one for the east since the eastern rebels are now growing angrier by the day. The current slots are occupied by:-
1- Vice President Salva Kiir
2- Vice President […]

Moving Yet Also Funny

I find it deeply moving that there are so many blogs out there discussing the Darfur issue. However I find it also funny that many of them got many of the facts wrong and are easily putting the blame on this and that person. I don’t really blame most of them since it’s the mainstream […]

UNTIL WHEN DAMN IT??!!

I am so sorry for inflicting these pictures onto you. I know it’s not appropriate but what’s more inappropriate is pretending this crap doesn’t exist.

Both the above and below pictures are of Sudanese kids. Spot the difference if you can. I swear I can’t stand this freaking crap.

Those damn rebels better make reasonable demands […]

Rally Pictures

American Tunisian blogger Leilouta attended the rally and posted some nice pictures of it on her blog.
The LAN in my campus has been screwed for the past couple of days so my connection is freaking slow. Anyways off to sleep now, I got a test early morning. No wait damn it’s already morning, 4.35 AM […]

Abuja Talks: Still No Progress

Those freaking rebels are still insisting on the vice president position which is already occupied by Christian southerner Salva Kiir.
“Rebels are still pushing the government to accept their demands for autonomy and a vice president.”
There is still no progress and there is only one day left. They better start making some reasonable demands. Do […]
