Sudanese cabinet urges mobilization for Arab conference on Darfur
Sudan has been always mitigating its position when it seriously faced with such situations.Sudan is now asking for an Arab support to Darfur deteriorating Humanitarian situation as a compensation to Darfur war victims.The pre-assumption of the two-day Arab conference in Khartoum shall be to raise awareness on the suffering of this Black African muslims,regardless of ethnicity.The same people were the first Black African christians before Islam entered Sudan.Sudan is an African country of the Arab world,how should the Arabs feel to contribute to a fellow muslim whom have taken up arms to fight against an Islamic government,to untie themselves from the bondage of Arab unity?
