One America News Network reporter Jack Posobiec has received an onslaught of leftist attacks in recent weeks from the Southern Poverty Law Center, an organization that demonstrates that the fake news does not care how disgraced or disreputable a group is as long as they promote leftist dogma. The hit pieces have gained some traction by being amplified in the left-wing echo chamber. On Google News, typing Posobiec's name into the search engine brings up an immediate slew of SPLC hit pieces. It is worth noting that there is nothing on there about a recent ANTIFA attack in Washington D.C....

The people of South Kordofan have become caught up in the unresolved contradiction of the post-John Garang Sudan People’s Liberation Movement/Army (SPLM/A), which is now leading South Sudan into independence; what happens when a national federalist political movement becomes an ethnic separatist political movement? This is the problem in several areas of Sudan outside the new borders of South Sudan, areas in which the then federalist SPLM/A recruited fighters to combat the Khartoum regime in the interests of creating a federal “New Sudan.” With South Sudan declaring full independence on July 9, a force of roughly 40,000 Nuba SPLA fighters...

After Years of Struggle, South Sudan Becomes a New Nation By JEFFREY GETTLEMAN JUBA, South Sudan — The celebrations erupted at midnight. Thousands of revelers poured into Juba’s steamy streets in the predawn hours on Saturday, hoisting enormous flags, singing, dancing and leaping on the back of cars. “Freedom!” they screamed. A new nation was being born in what used to be a forlorn, war-racked patch of Africa, and to many it seemed nothing short of miraculous. After more than five decades of an underdog, guerrilla struggle and two million lives lost, the Republic of South Sudan, Africa’s 54th state,...

Sudan: Hypocrisy of NCP And Double Standards of the Arab Media‎ AllAfrica.com - Mahmoud A. Suleiman - Mar 4, 2011 The League's member state allowed al-Bashir to travel around their countries without being apprehended! Hypocrisy and racist double standards are the force ... It seems that the opportunist authoritarian racist National Congress Party (NCP) regime in Khartoum found joy and delight in the events in Libya favourable to grab political revenge against its archenemy the Justice and Equality Movement (JEM) through statements issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that it does not exclude the participation of the Darfur rebels...

Since it was the cultural and religious beliefs of the Government of Sudan that catalyzed the civil war in 1983 by imposing Islamic Law on the South, one has to wonder what has changed in the GOS' belief system that will enable the unification of North and South Sudan. I've found nothing to indicate that Khartoum has changed or is capable of keeping an agreement.

COLIN POWELL, America's secretary of state, took a two-hour break this week to drop in on Sudan's peace talks. Apparently, that was long enough.

The conflict, said John Garang, the rebel leader, will be over by Christmas. At Mr Powell's press conference in Naivasha, the Kenyan town where the talks are taking place, rebels and government officials grinned, applauded and even hugged. Sudan has been at...

Jihadists from around the world are being welcomed -- with open arms -- in Sudan. Khartoum has once again become Grand Central Station for radical Islamist terror. This past January an international conference of over 66 Islamist groups was held in Sudan. The conference was announced in December by one of Osama Bin Laden¹s biggest supporters, the head of the dominant jihadist faction in the Pakistan Parliament. Terrorism in Sudan is nothing new. Long before Osama bin Laden was made a guest of honor, Carlos the Jackal took up residence in his villa in Sudan. Following September 11th there was...
