    Who would’ve thought that 20 years ago when people couldn’t buy sugar in Sudan and lined up for miles to get petrol for their cars that now we would be developing our own planes, the first ethanol factory in the middle east and Africa, the largest Hydro Dam in Africa and an economic growth rate of 10% and lastly but of course not least our own military industrial complex.

    Bravo President Bashir, you did what no other Sudanese President has ever done, you ended the war in the south and has been trying extensively to end the war in Darfur, I totally commend you for your achievement and you deserve to be our President.

    That is all nonsense. People are starving in many parts of Sudan and you’re telling us that you want to make aircraft. Who is going to fly them? The dead bodies of women and children in Darfur? No. we can’t be cheated anymore. We want you to answer to your crimes you have committed in Darfur.

    There is no any differnt between what Mr. Albashir doing with what is hapenning now in North Korea. These days, the North Korea’s president is launching a long and short range missile to terrorise his niehgboor countries as well as other countries in the world while his people are starving. Albashir is doing thesame thing. Sudanese people are in need for food, medicine, security and much more. Albashir should not think about assembling aircraft or what so ever unles he wants to terrorise Chad or other niehgbooring countries in Africa or he wants to prepare him self to go back to war with South Sudan or kill the rest of those poor darfurians. He will not stop on assembling the aircraft. You will hear somthing strange soon from him.
