Feb 20, 2007 (TRIPOLI) — Sudanese President Omar al-Beshir arrived in Libya for talks he said were aimed at engaging holdout rebel groups from Darfur, where four years of violence continues to rage unabated.
The talks are aimed at “launching negotiations with groups that did not sign the Abuja agreement,” Beshir was quoted as saying by the official SUNA news agency upon arrival in the Libyan capital.
He was expected to meet Libyan leader Moamer Kadhafi, Eritrean President Issaias Afeworki and representatives from the many rebel groups operating in the war-torn western Sudanese region.
Is al-Bashir really being sincere with this latest effort or is he just acting as if he’s from planet “look at me, look at me, I’m a peace maker”? By default, I’m a hopefull and dreamy Drima but I must say that I don’t see the Darfur problem getting solved any time soon. Why? For many reasons, the latest being this one. It’s pathetic isn’t it? Bleh, let them continue drinking their coffee and eating their cheese cakes. Meanwhile, innocent ones in South Sudan and Darfur continue to die. Human nature has a truly lovely side to it.

In Hebrew we would say “The starling went to see the raven, for they are of the same kind.”
