The President of Egypt should now learn a lesson!!!
Mr. Mubarak president of Egypt has learnt a lesson now as he always obstacles to Separation of the South Sudan in upcoming Referendum which is the only mean to end war in the country.
I think Mr. Mubarak will now start to agree that there is no other option to end war in Sudan except to vote for the separation.
When the South is separated from the north regime system then, the peace in Darfur shall be the next agenda for Bashir and Salva Kiir to look into.
Mubarak should stop crossing the Sudanese highways to the everlasting solution to end war in the country.
Thank all

Mubarak you killed your own people by supporting these gangsters so called half-Arabs. you will not only loose people but also water. Instead to stand on the side of the owners of the country you stood on the side of the aliens against the indiginous people of Sudan. Now after you realized too late that you were wrong and try to tell the truth to Bashiirr they start to black mail you by killing your peacekeepers whom you send them to spy for people of Darfur against Darfur rebels. If they again refused to obey the orders of Sudan NSS they will also be killed unless you keep them in their barracks or withdraw them from Darfur. or called Basiir to Cairo and hand him down to ICC. Islamist governemnt in North they do not do things by themsleves by use the ingnorant Arab Janjaweed to do their actions. Think double Pharos if you can listen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How many forces of UNAMID needed to be killed or kidnapped by Sudan Government so that, they can think of rethinking their mandate ?
