Bin Laden calls for holy war against Darfur peacekeepers
October 23, 2007 (CAIRO) — Osama Bin Laden renewed his call for a holy war against a proposed peacekeeping force in Sudan’s wartorn region of Darfur in a message that appeared on Web sites Tuesday.
Bin Laden called for foreign forces to be driven from Darfur.
“It is the duty of the people of Islam in the Sudan and its environs, especially the Arabian Peninsula, to perform jihad against the Crusader invaders and wage armed rebellion to remove those who let them in,” he said, according to a transcript provided by IntelCenter, which monitors extremist Web sites.
Bin Laden’s deputy, Ayman al-Zawhiri, made a similar call for jihad in Darfur in a Sept. 20 video message, and bin Laden issued an audiotape in 2006 calling on his followers to go to Sudan to fight a proposed U.N. force there.
In Tuesday’s message, bin Laden referred to talks between Sudan’s president, Omar al-Bashir, and Saudi officials who pressed him to agree to a joint U.N.-African Union peacekeeping force in Darfur. Those meetings took place in March and April.
In the sections of the message broadcast Monday, bin Laden took the highly uncharacteristic step of acknowledging that al-Qaida had made mistakes and chiding followers for not uniting their ranks — a reference to the squabbles among various insurgent groups in Iraq.
“Everybody can make a mistake, but the best of them are those who admit their mistakes,” he said. “Mistakes have been made during holy wars but mujahideen have to correct their mistakes.”
Al-Jazeera’s decision to air only that critical part of the autio rather than the lengthy opening section, which applauded insurgent victories in Iraq, appeared to have angered the militants.
One militant Web site that is a clearing house for al-Qaida and other extremist videos announced the message would appear uncut in its entirety, as opposed to the way it was broadcast by al-Jazeera.
“The shameful and dissolute channel is seeking to support the Crusaders and the enemies,” said an angry posting on the site. “The channel is the shame of the Islamic community.
The rest bin Laden’s message applauded the insurgents in Iraq for a job well done and told them to remain steadfast in the face of the increase in coalition forces, singling out the fighters in Diyala in particular.
“You massacred the enemy and applied yourself to fighting them, until they became prisoners of their bases and the Green Zone, fearing danger. So continue to make the soldiers of unblief drink from the bitter cup of death,” he said.
Bin Laden also urged Arabs across the region to join the fight in Iraq.

Bin Laden calls for holy war against Darfur peacekeepers
This is nonsense over nonsense, now I want tell you, especially those who fear Bin Laden like nothing. Bin is not in Sudan (Darfur Region) as you might perceive it. He has died a long time ago but Arabs don’t want to admit his death because if they do it then the whole world will not fear and as such, the world will turn against and crash them beyond last atom.
The only Bin Laden we have here is his executive friend and second deputy Omar Al-Bashir who is threatening the lives of innocent people in Sudan.
Although his colleagues like Bashir are trying to imitate his voice, dress like him and act some movies on their Al-jazeera Television to scare Darfurans, we southern Sudanese will not fear this and we shall stand behind our brothers. Bin Laden’s image is now being used by Arabs/Terrorists as a fearing tool until the time they will regain power. Imagine, if Bin was strong enough to confront his enemies why he ran away from Afghanistan when Americans tried to trace him out of his hiding caves.
Bin Laden as an Al- Qaida leader and chief of terrorists, was the one who organized American embassies attack in East Africa in 1998 and Sept 11, 2001 in New York and Washington. These terrorists’ plans and acts since that long time have disoriented the world that Bin Laden and the whole of Arab community have that super powers to fight whoever is against their terrorists’ behavior all over the world.
And therefore, the International Community must not accept to fear his terrorist’s swearing of he doesn’t want foreign intervention in Sudan case. Bashir and his friend have killed enough number of innocently people all over the world since 1983 and this must stop by any possible means.
