The Rift Valley Institute confirms that at least 10,000 have been kept in slavery in Sudan. I hope that the US government will not recognize the Khartoum regime as the legitimate government of Sudan, halt all trade with Sudanese corporation if such trade would enrich areas under Khartoum's control, and at least contribute military expertise and supplies to the SPLA. In the meantime I will pray for the Sudanese and try to see what I can do to help them. One month ago Khartoum's forces launched a large offensive into southern Sudan and killed 200,000-300,000 people. The religion of peace is so benevolent.

Some estimates place the number killed in the past few years at 3,000,000. This government makes Saddam's seem positively benevolent. Why haven't we invaded there?

This genocide of Christians in Sudan is of historic proportions. Add this one to the Islamic Turkish genocide of Armenians, Assyrians and Greeks (many others) the genocide of the Jews and others by the atheistic nazis, the genocides against the Christians of Russia under the Soviet Communists, and the list goes on JUST IN THE 20TH CENTURY ALONE!
The world remains silent including the US and no one seems commited to doing anything. And very few under the Christian umbrella of Churches speak out. What is everyone afraid of?

Every veiled Moslem woman is a slave- so what's new?

If you want to hear of more hypocrisy, E-Mail Amnisty International Assets of over 300 Mil. They are a Human Rights Organization (so they claim).

Because this is part of their culture. It is for them to grow out of. The better approach for the US is to stop recognizing the government there, stop trading and aiding there, and let them learn their own lessons. Saddam was one man imposing virtual slavery. In the Sudan, it is an accepted part of life. We can and should export our culture peacefully and voluntarily, not forcefully.

Because this is part of their culture. Slavery is absolutely not a part of the culture in Sudan! Where on earth do you get your information from?
In the Sudan, it is an accepted part of life
What an absurd statement to make!
I suggest that you actually talk to Sudanese who have been rescued or who have come to the US as refugees and ask them if slavery is "accepted" as a way of life in Sudan. Alternatively, do some reading on this issue.

Some of us are trying.The Sudan is remote and of little geo=political importance.My question has long been "where are the US CHRISTIAN activists,especially AFRICAN -AMERICAN ministers and activist"? What about KOFI ANNAN,LOUIS FARRAKAHN,etc.,ad nauseum.
To: y2k_free_radical
Well, you can eliminate Calypso Louie Farrakhan right away. He is a Muslim and it is not in his interest to besmirch the Islamic govt. of Sudan. After all, he gets lots of his funding from Saudi Arabia and other Islamic fronts.
As for Clueless Koffee - when did he ever care about other Black Africans? Certainly not when the Rwandan geocide was in full swing and certainly not now in Sudan.
Sudan is not "of little geopolitical importance" as you say. It is suspected as being the world's largest repository of mineral wealth including oil and gold. Its sheer size (1/3 of the continental US)makes it strategically important.

I don't suppose the Congressional Black Caucus or the NAACP cares. This has been going on for years, and only small Christian churches are actually getting involved and trying to "buy" the slaves their freedom.
Just like slavery in this country, it's the Christians that take on the issues first.
To: eleni121
Yes i know a little about the oil in the south that is the real reason the NORTHERN SUDANESE MUSLIMS are doing a genocide on the SOUTHERN SUDANESE CHRISTIANS & ANIMISTS.A CANADIAN oil company has big contracts with the KHARTOUM KRAZIES(WHIRLING DERVISHES)
To: Central_Floridian
One of the most active member of the anti slavery movement in the Sudan is Maria Sliwa, (sister of Curtis.) She has been at the forefront of this issue for years now.

Those folks seem interested in little other than their own popularity and pockets. They have not shown willingness to attack really serious issues like this.
To: onedoug
Slavery is acceptable according to the Koran. Muslims have shown much enthusiasm throughout history for enslaving non-muslims.
To: Central_Floridian
98% of the violence in the Arab world is NOT in Israel (or "Palestine"). A fact that Ibrahim Hooper, C.A.I.R., the AMC and the Arab League desperately want to hide. So far they have the full cooperation of the world and american press.
To: Teacher317
Slavery has been around for a long time in Sudan, but we should still oppose it. Murder has been committed for thousands of years but we oppose that. Tyrannical governments have been around for thousands of years but many oppose that.
The National Islamic Front will not allow anyone to peacfuly export jahili culture btw.
Considering the NSI's support of terrorism US military action against them is perfectly justifiable and long over-due in my opinion.
Thanks for posting.
