Who Just Gave Drima Some Link Love?

She’s right. I’m not an agent of the Mossad. I’m an agent of the CIA. Muahahaha!

GlobalVoices: Southern Sudan Has a New Health Hazard

Here’s the latest round up of the Sudanese blogosphere.

Save Darfur Coalition Pissed Off Aid Groups

I cannot believe I missed this five months old New York Times article. Remember the open letter I wrote to the Save Darfur Coalition criticizing their strategies (while praising their efforts to raise awareness)? (They haven’t replied by the way). Or how about this and this? Well, let’s have a look at the article:
Even as […]

Denmark and Europe Might Get Their First Hijabi MP

Yup, it’s true. I’ve written about the hijab here and here. Even our beloved Danish friend, the one and only Halalhippie has. Now it might actually become a reality in the Danish parliament.
And you know what’s funny? It isn’t in the Turkish one. Ironic isn’t it?

Queuing for Lunch At The Darfur Peace Talks

Via Rob Crilly:

Several of my journalist pals made the trip up to Sirte, Libya, for the Darfur peace talks. They reckoned there were about 120 journalists or so. And three rebels.

Iraq: When Good News Is Bad News

Discovered via Iraq.DailyVoices.com:
Long live Iraq’s true freedom fighters!!
UPDATE:
I wrote this six months ago in a post that pissed off some people:
If, I repeat if, order and security is back and if Iraqis start seeing peace, prosperity and justice in the coming years, then I believe Bush will go down in history as a liberator. If […]

Africa Needs More Investment, Not More Aid

I’m a huge, huge fan of TED talks. They’re inspiring, extremely informative and deeply thought provoking. I finally had time to watch this excellent speech by Andrew Mwenda. I’m happy that ideas like his are finally beginning to make an impact. If you’re wondering why, then check what I’ve said before:
My ultimate dream is to […]

Today’s Sudan Linkies

My exams are very near and approaching, so posting might be light for the next two to three weeks.

The pros and cons of Sudanese oil wealth.
Rebels still attacking oil-related targets.
Chinese investment in Sudan now exceeding 6 billion dollars.
The SPLM and NCP are in talks to end the political crisis.
Northern troops will pull out of Southern […]

Conspiracy Theories About Northern Sudanese

I don’t know whether to laugh or cry over this:
My message to southerners whom are living in khartoum right now. Be careful if you become sick make sure not to be treated by arab Doctors they will inject you with HIV, I warned you about this two years ago, but many of you didn’t listen, […]

How the Blue Donkeys Could Take Over

This cracked me up so badly!
… it occurred to me that Democrats really don’t need to do anything. All liberals need to do is sit back and watch while the whole Republican government resigns after it’s discovered that they’re all actually gay.
That makes at least three this year. Mark Foley, Larry Craig and Richard Curtis. […]

Maybe Sudan Needs a New Comprehensive Peace Agreement

I’ve said the following in this article I wrote before two weeks and which was published a few days ago:
The situation is becoming more complex. Darfur, Nubia, up in the far north and the derailed implementation of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) between the Al-Bashir’s NCP and the Southern SPLM must not be regarded as […]

Sudanese Refugees Missing Since Deported By Israel

What the…
Haaretz reporter Ben Lynfield says:
48 African refugees missing since deported by IDF
Concern is growing about the well-being of the 48 African refugees, most of them Sudanese, who have been unaccounted for since they were detained by Egyptian security forces more than two months ago after being deported by the IDF to Sinai.
WHAT? Did he […]

My Encounter With the Notorious and Misunderstood Irshad Manji

I recently had the chance to meet Irshad Manji at a conference in Washington DC.
The first time I discovered Irshad Manji was in a not-so-pleasant article which painted her as a sell-out and an opportunist . Apparently many Muslims think she’s the Devil in disguise. Needless to say, those were the kind of articles I […]
