Sudan ignoring UN deadline
2004-08-27
Surprise meter: don't bother.
Sudan is ignoring a looming UN deadline to rein in Arab militia accused of months of atrocities in the bloodied Darfur region, a top Sudanese official asserted Thursday, saying his country will work in the interest of its people unswayed by international pressure. "We aren't bothered by the UN deadline at all. It never crossed our mind. We are working towards our duties for our Master Race™ people," said Sudan's Agriculture Minister Majzoub al-Khalifa Ahmad, lead government negotiator at peace talks with Darfur rebels in the Nigerian capital, Abuja. The mostly-Arab Janjaweed are accused of attacking ethnic African villagers in what the US Congress and some aid groups call genocide. The government, accused of supporting the Janjaweed, only admit to having some "control" over them.
No source, Em!
Yikes! It was Aftenposten, I swear...now not there. Found a Xinhua article that is essentially the same. Bottom line, still sucks to be in Darfur.

#5  Does anyone know anything more about the S.L.A.? Do they have any Western educated leaders? Are they anti-American? I'm sure they support us now, but what about after the Janjaweed are gone? Are they Christians? Are they corrupt? Should we support them covertly with arms, money, equipment, more of those inspirational tapes of girls singing? I wanna get my hands on one of those tapes...We need tapes like that for our Marines in Fallujah & Najaf. We should have some hot porno stars make tapes telling our soldiers how they'll get laid (in explicit detail) when they get home if they just kill all their enemies real fast. But really, we should look into helping the S.L.A. I'm sure they already thought about that and apparently they're too rag-tag to support. We oughtta train them then...

#2  I think that the Sudan can beat Iraq's record for ignorded and thwarted UNSC resolutions without hardly trying.
