1 tsedek 12.26.06 at 2:19 pm: what do you say about this, Drima? think it’s fair?
2 Drima 12.26.06 at 3:47 pm: Of course not Tse, I gave my detailed opinion in this previous post which I believe you read. Like the guy learning software engineering in the video said… Sudan has enough money and wealth to support ALL the people but our beloved wonderful caring government is just swallowing what it wants and is spitting out the left overs.
3 Roman Kalik 12.26.06 at 4:01 pm: Drima, but *surely* el-presidente can do no wrong!
4 tsedek 12.26.06 at 8:25 pm: If only there were no tribalism (come to think of it, it serves the government pretty good tribalism exists in Sudan - maybe the gov’t is enhancing it… could that be, Drima?)

Without tribalism - ‘the’ people could overthrow this corrupt bunch of selfish wheazels
5 Drima 12.27.06 at 1:00 pm: Tse, the government ENCOURAGES tribalism. This is a well known fact.
6 D.B. Shobrawy 12.28.06 at 1:10 am: Tribalism is one of the root causes for violence in many arab and african countries. Now not to get off topic but Drima did you see those cool Coca Cola bottles!? I want one!
7 tsedek 12.28.06 at 6:52 am: what’s the answer against tribalism? one common ‘enemy’ doesn’t seem to help….

a righteous dictator for a few decennia maybe who may smooth out the creases?

I still think Sudan is in need for a Jerry Rowlings…..
8 tsedek 12.30.06 at 3:19 pm: Yo,Drima - buy a new PC

too much time passed since you let yourself been heard, man

Tse.
9 Don Cox 12.30.06 at 5:33 pm: “what’s the answer against tribalism? ”

Movement of the population from the countryside into the cities, and economic growth.

A good example of a country which used to be strongly tribal is Scotland. Somehow the Scots have got past that stage.
10 nobody 01.02.07 at 12:13 pm: so maybe it’s time to reconsider some of your ideas about the IMF and free market economic policies ? or you don’t see a connection here?
