Darfur

Speaking of Darfur, there is news today that Sudan has violated its ceasefire agreement with Darfur rebels by bombing a North Darfur state village, sources in Khartoum's aid community said on Thursday.

What is being called "ethnic cleansing" by the media is really this:

The African people are being systematically killed by their own government and Arab militias, known locally as Janjaweed.

When you hear the word "rebels" in the news, they are referring to the inhabitants of that area that are fighting to defend their homeland, their families...and they are being murdered...muslims systematically murdering 'non-believers'...hmmm...where have I heard that before...???

After years of tribal conflict over scarce resources in arid Darfur, two main rebel groups took up arms accusing Khartoum of neglect and of using Janjaweed to loot and burn non-Arab villages.

Khartoum admits arming some militias to fight the rebels but denies any links to the Janjaweed, calling them outlaws.

China and Russia rejected a new U.S. bid to impose United Nations sanctions on Sudan for failing to end assaults on villagers in Darfur, saying any action should follow deployment of a UN peacekeeping force and formation of a coalition government in Khartoum...and they are once again firing upon and killing the inhabitants...

It is happening - right before our eyes...and the U.N. is doing nothing to stop it...

hmmm...the U.N. is there, but remember the latest scandal over there? the one where U.N. "Peacekeepers" were raping little girls?

thought so...
