Ms Gibbons Heads Back Home

Finally! I’m glad she’ll soon be reunited with her loved ones.
While watching this video of the Sudanese minister of foreign affairs speaking about the pardon (yeah, as if she did something wrong), he made an interesting comment which caught my ears.
He was basically saying that they expect to be treated back in the same manner […]

Updates On North-South Sudan Crisis

Yeah, that crisis. Silva Kiir, the SPLM’s boss went to the United States and met President Bush. The visit apparently wasn’t coordinated with other partners in the “unity” government aka al-Bashir’s NCP which got the NCP rather pissed off. Following that, Omar al-Bashir engaged in very inflammatory rhetoric to score some political points.

Addressing a mass […]

Omar al-Bashir Meets the Pope!!!!!!!!


Darfur: Something Effective Is Being Cooked Up

I guess Sudan accepting UN troops is old news by now. Don’t get too excited though. I am still skeptical but not as much as I used to be when similar news were announced in the past. I’m only slightly skeptical this time. Maybe this slight skepticism exists in me due to fear… the fear […]

Sudan, China, America & the CIA: What the Hell Is Going On?

My head really hurts! Something is fishy here and I’m trying hard to make sense of what’s happening with:
1) China’s move which contradicts Hu Jintao’s visit to Sudan.
2) America’s plan B (and its latest coercive efforts against Sudan) which contradict the news of the CIA building its largest center for east Africa in Sudan and […]

Hmmmm:

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.

Pronk: Hidden Forces Undermining Sudanese President Authority

Oh those damn hidden evil dark forces, how I hate them. Read it all if you have time. Very informative… and quite depressing.

And Sudan Loses The AU Chairmanship

Thank you Lord!

Will al-Bashir Get the AU Presidency?

I’ve talked about this before and I’m still waiting for the outcome. I’m not terribly excited as you can tell. Meanwhile Chad has announced it will withdraw from the AU if Sudan takes over the presidency:
Jan 27, 2007 (ADDIS ABABA) — Chad will withdraw from the African Union if Sudan takes the chairmanship of the […]

Busy Days

I’ve been busy like hell during this past week. Work has been mad but extremely interesting. I’m getting hammered but in the process I’m learning so much. I’m really lucky this is not one of those typical boring internships were you get all the crappy repetitive tasks which you learn nothing from. My mom also […]
