    Egypt and Libya to coordinate joint efforts to end Darfur crisis
    The Darfur geographically belongs to the Fezzan ethnic minority of Tibesti rather than from Egypt-Sudan Nilotic ethnic peoples, so it is not fear that it concluded as a Sudanese minority, and try to solve within not negotiable of peoples demands of Darfur. Historically Darfur never been a Sudanese minority, but what it was devided by West.
    Even though Egypt will never support the Darfuri demands, the Voice of Darfur, but always within the strength of the Nilotic River basin communities all the way up to East Africa.
    Though Darfur itself is isolated from Sudan.
    Even though Libya as the strength of Sahara by pass, the Yellow Belt of highways from ancient route all the way into the ends of Mauritania from ancient Mesopotamia, the present days of Babylon and Assyria, Iraq: the Libyan leader never intend to host Darfur, but obeying the leadership under Egypt.
    For Qatar to host Darfur is not enough of scale and understanding of whole situations in Maghreb Sahara, since the absent presence of Mesopotamia Baghdadi Iraq and with the host of U.A.E..
    The blacks of U.A.E. are the diaspora Maghreb Sahara and fully supports Darfur, and rest of Sahara regions of North Africa today, since they are the diaspora of Black Mesopotamia descents.
    Once again Libya and Egypt corporation joint efforts can’t be trusted for future of Darfur!
