Here's another story on the Suda that I posted a couple of days ago: UN Officials Stunned to Find Refugee Camp Emptied in Sudan.

3,000 to 4000 refugees in the camp the day before UN officials show up to inspect the camp. Now they are gone. Where?

Arab Imperialism.

Are you sure you're not confusing them with Somalis ?

The Sudanese Lost Boys are a very different Group, Christian, and sponsored by Churches.

It is Bantu Somalians who have been given refuge in large numbers in this country through the auspices of the State Department. They are also black and Muslim, and have been discriminated against by the Arab Somalians.

A private effort to buy a few thousand bolt action surplus rifles and ammo and deliver them in modest size batches to the oppressed population might be the best that could be hoped for.

Yes, you're right, but that is illegal, as it is considered operating an independent foreign policy of the U.S.

It was these constraints which were at the root of the Iran-Contra fiasco; the attempt to arm the Contras in Nigaragua after the U.S. Congress denied them aid.

I'd love to have the money and ability to run my own foreign policy.

No, the rapist is a Sudanese Christian engineering student, one of the "Lost Boys of Sudan," and he raped a 14 year old and a 16 year old girl. I'm not sure how many others there are also involved.

That is very disappointing to read.

I say, back to Sudan for them, if he is convicted (after he serves his sentence).
