Dear All,

Everyday, the 2.5 million people chased from their homes in Darfur face the threat of starvation, disease, and rape, while the few lucky enough to remain in their homes risk displacement, torture, and murder.

We must continue to do all we can.

Would you join me in calling on President Bush and UN Secretary General Kofi Annan to do more?

Visit http://www.savedarfur.org to do so.

Thank you,



Take action now at http://www.democracyinaction.org/darfur/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=5190&t=

Please direct all request to Kofi Annan.

Without UN approval, the US can do nothing.

After all, you know what happened in Iraq.

PS. Please forward copies to all Arab/Moslem countries who have yet to condem what is happening in the Sudan. After all, one moslem cannot condem another.

Very sarcastic you are wudjab I like the way you twist it and point it at the end to Muslims .. By the Way where is Darfoor located in Sudan ? so I may answer your question and your request ;)

"U.S. Secretary of State Colin L. Powell said yesterday that he warned senior Sudanese officials on Sunday that President Bush and other foreign leaders "remain completely dissatisfied" with Khartoum's efforts to end the violent campaign by Arab militias in the Darfur region of Sudan"
Not surprising. Did no one think it wrong that the government sent the same troups who were doing the raiding to then "protect" the refugee camps?

This is not a light-weight tome, but I expect it will be very illuminating. In the preface he argues that Sudan's recurring civil wars are a product of ten historical factors, including:
1. Patterns of governance developed prior to the 19th century (including the slave trade practiced by the North against the South);
2. Introduction of a "particular brand of militant Islam" in the late 19th century, sharpening the divide between "persons with or without full legal rights"
3. Economic/educational inequalities and political development in the 20th century (under colonialsim, but often built upon earlier patterns);
4. Britain's 1956 decision, based on political expediancies, to grant independence to the whole of Sudan without addressing disparities in development or safeguarding the interest and representation of the South;
5. The North's attempt to build a national identity based on Arab culture and Islam;
6. Failure to obtain national consensus in either the North or the South in the 1970s re national unity, regional development and the balance of power between central and regional governments
7. Sudan's weakening economy in the 1970s coincided with the South's awareness of the extent of their own natural resources, hastening the political instability of the 1980s;
8. Sudan's involvement in the international politics of the Cold War exacerbated its own internal war; helped along by the distribution of arms on "an unprecedented scale";
9. Re-emergence of militant Islam as a major economic and political force and the "qualifications" this placed on the rights on non-Muslims
10. The interest of foreign governments/investors in Sudan's natural and mineral resources, particularly water and oil.

In short wudjab all are involved The West and the Sudanese people themselves .. Arabs Sudanese ( muslims ) and Arab sudanese ( Christians ) and ofcourse the USA and the West are fully Loaded with their interst ;)

Hey everyone. Hope all is well in your lives. On a demo in London over the weekend for the continuing genocide in Darfur I met this woman who ran the website: www.newsinkling.com. It's a political/ecological/arts etc e-journal and just thought I'd give it some press coverage to all you fine people out there - it's really interesting and there's some great stuff on the site. Hopefully I'll be writing some articles for it in the near future; in the meantime, enjoy! Love, Sunmoon;)
