    Its very sad for the UN/US to Mortgage the lives of innocent civilians in Darfur for South Sudan referandum for the Islamist in Khartoum. CPA is clear like holly books nothing is hidden and does not need any coxings for National Congress Party.

    Referendum is a rights for people in the South to decide not begging any power on earth to give them that. So why International Community led by Obama adminstration allow the killing of such big numbers of innocent civilians without even ususal condemnation that we use to hear from them. UNAMID forces who are deployed to protect are reduced even not knowing where the killings took place.Its unfortunate to read on news stories that unnamed person from UNAMID said that they hear that there was fighting. What a shame???? I would like to tell UNAMID forces that if people of Darfur are finished today tomorrow you will be the next target to Khartoum regime to force you out of Sudan.

    It’s very sad that the International Community is maintaining total silence to all these killings; so that the regime let South Sudan secede. Information on the ground had it that; the man in charge of the regime’s military operation in Darfur named Abdul Fattah Burhan was working to remobilize the Janjaweed militias especially a round Khor Ramla area and of western Darfur to launch attacks on civilians as part of regime’s new strategy on Darfur. However; the Janjaweed militias told Abdul Fattah that; they need some dues from the regime of their fighting for the regime in 2005 & 2006 and unless the regime pay them the money they will not fight again; thus Abdul Fattah took some Janjaweed leaders to Nyala in order to settle the issue of their debts with the regime .Furthermore; one thing I have learned from the ongoing genocide in Darfur is that; Some genocide and killings matter more than others, as today the world kept it’s mouth shut; as Darfurian facing grim conditions of humanitarian assistance denials by the regime in addition to attacks and bombardment, while eyes fixed on the referendum only. It’s very sad indeed.
