    The Arab League is now throwing bones to Darfur to fool its people that it cares about their plight. Watch out guys or else the worse is coming. This is not humanitarian work but political tool to kill all of you one by one.

    Oh My God,

    They are doing it (their old style of hoodwinking) again. The Darfuris NEED to be more vigilance with the arabs ‘night meetings’ carried out during the day. The sudanese Africans need to know that an arabs is always an arab except for the dead ones.

    This sugar-coating of their poisonous pills of destroying and annihilating the Africans MUST stop. They have done it in the South, and they can’t be allowed to strike AGAIN.

    I hate you (arabs) and your filthy tricks of hollow empathy with passion

    Arab money cannot buy the people of Darfur, NCP can plan its conspiracies with Arab countries to buy the people of Darfur with money so they will not complain, but this will not save Omer bashir from ICC to stand or the war crimes he committed and the war crmes still going to today in Darfur. people of Darfur should reject this money if not given in good faith.
