A Norwegian aid agency is closing down its operations in Sudan’s war-torn Darfur region, citing government interference in its work.
The Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) says it is aiding some 300,000 people who have fled their homes in Darfur.
The agency says it has been suspended five times, for a total of 210 days since it started work in 2004.
“We cannot work when the authorities suspend us continuously and do not respond to our repeated requests for dialogue aimed at addressing and resolving underlying reasons for this action,” said NRC Secretary-General Tomas C Archer.
Some 200,000 people have died in Darfur and two million made homeless, with pro-government militias accused of genocide against black Africans.
The government says it is disarming the Janjaweed militia, but a BBC correspondent in Sudan says all the evidence points to the exact opposite.
African Union (AU) peacekeepers say it is very clear that government and militia are working hand in hand.
Governments and NGO’s around the world are trying to help the victims of the ethnic cleansing of Darfur. The government of Sudan continues with politics reminiscent of Idi Amin. Western democracies respond with as much leadership as Elmer Fudd.
To understand this all better read this.
The Darfur conflict is an ongoing armed conflict in the Darfur region of western Sudan, mainly between the Janjaweed, a militia group recruited from the tribes of the Abbala (camel-herding Arabs), and the non-Baggara people (mostly land-tilling tribes) of the region.
It’s Arabs butchering non-Arab blacks en masse. It’s that simple. Nobody wants to sound racist, so the West is quiet about it.
14 If I wanted to be a victim, then I would simply remain silent and feel sorry for myself. Why is it every a hate filled anti-Christian writes something they like to immediately use low repulsive innuendo. In stead, I post and talk and campaign against those I believe would enslave the human spirit.
Before you accuse Christians of doing this you should look at the results of sin: Drugs, prostitution, sodomy, adultery, theft, gossip, falseness to oneself and to others. Which of these sins would you proudly wear on a t-shift saying, Look at Me I’m a _____, to work, to your child’s school, in front of your parents. If you can’t do that, but promote it, then why not? Humanity is about dignity, respect and love not the ever deepening insanity of those sins.
I do agree that Oil is heavily involved in this conflict. But since it’s mostly Christians, 2 million people overall, that have been killed and the US doesn’t seem to care. Isn’t the pay off in oil enough for the US, isn’t that all we really care about? Isn’t China going to buy oil anyway? Will Darfur make them slow down or stop? If oil is the reason, then looking at the different stages of the conflict separately seem illogical. Yes, I agree that the Global corporations haven’t been brought Darfur to our attention, why not? Not enough oil, or they can’t make a profit selling to the Chinese?
Or is it more to the point that this conflict as so many others is more about the Globalist conflict. Who will control the Globalist government to come.
Every time in human history when power begins to be concentrated, it continues until only one man welds that power. More often than not, that one man uses mass genocide to further his control in pursuit of total control. The control to come isn’t the control of rules and law, but of your very will, thoughts and dreams. They’ll say it’s to make you safer, they always do, but their goal will be to make you live in terror and uncertainty. You are at the beginning of march to a new dark age and where will the new light come from? Certainly not from Man’s dark soul. Read history, Read the News, Study Man and tell such is not to come.
I find it interesting, and appaulling, that in response to the cold hearted deaths of 200,000 people there are here expressions of further hate and conflict. While we all sit here at the comforts of our computers, the best we can come up with for a response to genocide is more conflict?
That’s because for all our words not one of us is going to do a single thing to stop any of it. But one thing’s for sure, before anybody will do anything, people have to get pretty damned angry. Otherwise, it’ll just be “what’s for dinner tonight?”
