Sudan Protesters Call for Gaza 'Jihad'
2014-07-19
[An Nahar] About 200 people in Islamist-run Sudan on Friday called for "jihad" at a demonstration against an Israeli assault on Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, in the Gazoo strip.

The peaceful demonstration took place outside the Grand Mosque in central Khartoum following Friday prayers.

"Jihad! Jihad against America! Jihad in Gazoo!" the protesters called,
They've been trying, but we can all see that Allah favours the Juices. It's very odd indeed, but there is no other way to interpret the thing.
according to an Agence La Belle France Presse photographer.

Israel began an offensive against Hamas-ruled Gazoo on July 8 with the aim of stamping out cross-border rocket fire.

More than 260 Paleostinians have been killed.

Israeli ground operations began on Thursday night aimed at smashing Hamas's network of cross-border tunnels.

Israeli officials have long accused Sudan of serving as a base of support for bully boyz of Islamist Hamas.

Sudan's President Omar al-Bashir
Head of the National Congress Party. He came to power in 1989 when he, as a brigadier in the Sudanese army, led a group of officers in a bloodless military coup that ousted the government of Prime Minister Sadiq al-Mahdi and eventually appointed himself president-for-life. He has fallen out with his Islamic mentor, Hasan al-Turabi, tried to impose shariah on the Christian and animist south, resulting in its secessesion, and attempted to Arabize Darfur by unleashing the barbaric Janjaweed on it. Sudan's potential prosperity has been pissed away in warfare that has left as many as 400,000 people dead and 2.5 million displaced. Omar has been indicted for genocide by the International Criminal Court but nothing is expected to come of it.
last week met in the Gulf nation of Qatar with Khaled Meshaal, the exiled Hamas chief.

#3  Why was Bashir not arrested in Qatar?

Because oil-producing tyrants don't arrest other oil-producing tyrants merely for taking a firm hand with the peasantry, perhaps.

#1  Nobody has much sympathy for gaza because of the ling and tiresome history of being professional victims

Except of course, people exiting a mosque or some green left socialist bots who prefer to support fascism if it looks like opposing the US
