Posted by NEWS on 2/7/2004, 20:08:15 Donald Payne, Democratic representative from New Jersey, told a pressconference, "We urge the Secretary of State, Colin Powell to support an immediate intervention to stop the killing. If we fail to act a million people could die before the end of the year. More forceful was the statement from House Democratic Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi of California who recently stated:, "We must act now to avoid more slaughter and avoid a repetition of the genocide in Rwanda 10 years ago. This is a crisis, an emergency. We have the legal obligation under international law to act. Powell visited the region on Wednesday the 30th of June. Sudan is just another jigsaw piece in this US colonial drive. Such statements from within the US may not equate to actual military intentions, but put further pressure on the Sudanese leadership to succumb further to US control. The interest for the US, specifically in western Sudan, aside from the division of Muslim land and the further weakening of the Muslim Ummahs body, is fuelled by the powerful capitalist lobbies and the recently discovered oil fields in western Sudan. It therefore comes as no surprise that the US have begun to train militia in neighbouring Chad at a cost of $600 million over 5 years to combat so-called cross border terrorism. All this compares well to the disinterest that the US took in intervening in Rwanda while the well documented genocide was occurring. Clearly the Sudanese government, who has conceded the South to the Southerners and has compromised all else at the behest of the US, just does not understand what else it needs to do to please the US. Such a situation sounds very similar to that of President Musharraf of Pakistan. Musharraf has effectively turned the Pakistani army into a US military unit under the command of the CIA/FBI, permitted his master to bomb Afghanistan and negotiate the denuclearisation of Pakistan. Yet even with the crumbs of being accorded the recent status of a 'major non-Nato ally' the US appetite to enslave Pakistan and force further concessions remains. The leadership in Khartoum should well understood when Allah (Subhanahu wa taAllah) commands: They will never be pleased with you, until you leave your Deen. [2:120] And, It seems that over the past few years where the US publicly tore-up and discarded books and statutes on international law and human rights in Guantanamo Bay, Afghanistan, Iraq and Sudan (such as the illegal US bombing of a pharmaceutical facility in Khartoum) suddenly they have found these legal books again. Such is the nature of the USs selective enforcement of international law and Human Rights one wonders whether the international community will finally realise the futility of international law, raise a strong voice of condemnation and take action against the double standards that the US has applied to herself and her allies. Allies like Israel and Uzbekistan continue their physical onslaught against the Muslims in blatant contravention of international law and human rights, but with the blessing of the US. Clearly the war on terrorism has provided the US a legitimate cover to justify its actions and pursuit of the world's resources and global strategic control and domination. Sudan may be next in line but it is not last in line.
Sudan Next in Line?
There have been clashes claimed to be between an Arab militia supported by the Sudanese army and rebels in Darfur that have killed at least 10,000 people and forced more than a million from their homes, according to UN estimates. The government in Khartoum has been held responsible for this and under this backdrop, there has been an increasing call for physical intervention within the US.
