The Ongoing Holocaust in Darfur – That the White House Is Largely Ignoring
The Ongoing Holocaust in Darfur – That the White House Is Largely Ignoring
World-class blogger, fjordman, of Norway, has linked to a heart-wrenching analysis of the ongoing, unbelievably horrible, holocaust in the Darfur region in the west of Sudan.
Sudan is a huge country geographically – the largest on a large continent full of large countries. The Darfur region alone is about 70% the size of Texas.
What is interesting about this particular holocaust is that it involves Muslim against Muslim. Or, more specifically: Arab Sunni Muslim against Black African Sufi Muslim.
Funny: Not only is the White House largely inattentive to this crisis, so are some of the largest race-whiners in the United States – namely, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and Louis Farrakan. Of these three, the latter, would seemingly have the most reason to complain, as the victims if Darfur are both African and Muslim (albeit, not of Farrakhan’s peculiar Nation of Islam variety).
The author of the article to which fjordman links calls on America’s Evangelical Christians to take up the Darfur cause with the White House, which could unquestionably do more on this issue.
Note: Sudan has oil – and LOTS of it. Additionallyr, the Chinese are getting very interested and involved in Sudan. Moreover, Sudan has (at times) shown some cooperation with the US in its worldwide war on “the enemy which shall not be named”. It is a very tricky place for foreign affairs at this time. However, the preservation of human life should take priority over oil and international intrigue in my book.
