There is much truth in this article. My french teacher, who is from the Congo, has told me about the corporate armies, made up of American and Europeans soldiers and mercenaries, who guard the mine fields in eastern Congo.

An acquaintance from Sudan explained to me a little known fact. Apparently there is a hill with high grade uranium deposits in the Darfur region, and the Iranian and the Sudaneses government were in consultation about doing a joint venture to mine this mineral. With the issue about Iranian nuclear ambitions an American (and Israeli) concern, my friend believes this is the main reason why the Sudanese government is getting so much heat over the Darfur region and not the genocide which is happening there.

Excellent article. Thanks for sharing.

Apparently, US supported Chad, has its own problems with people fleeing its borders due to state-sponsored violence. Apparently they are fleeing to Sudan. This, in addition to the state-sponsored murders committed by Al Bashir’s government. To be honest, I gave him the benefit of the doubt because I knew the Western media has exaggerating the situation, but nevertheless his government seems to done its fair share of the killing of innocents. As have the US suported rebel groups committed atrocities. And Ethiopia, also supported by the US, is also guilty of committing numerous atrocities against the peoples of the Ogden region of Ethiopia.

This, sadly enough, seems to be the tale of the global genocide of the African people as far as I am concerned. It’s the same old policy of the US and the EU, forcing African countries into a constant state of instability,underdevelopment, poverty, starvation, AIDS, war and of course, death.

Here are links to a couple of excellent articles to help illustrate this point:
