    Can kenya government block military boost between two Devils Iran and NIF regimes in protection of the CPA as it did to South Sudan government? Or is it going to release the weapons it confisicated which were aimed to protect the CPA? The position taken by NIF regime is not surprise to me because of its nature. They came to power through the ballots of gun so, with most sophiscated guns they believe they could stay for one more day. Also, two regimes are identicals, they are the most notorious, human rights violaters and world most hated regimes ever. And it could be a reaction to SLM/A openning its office in Tel Aviv. I don’t doubt any military ally between evil forces, and as they are evils without legitimate rights to kill people of Sudan, they will be defeated.

    “Kenya (Kibaki) should tell the SAF that they’re violating the CPA”
    If the past allegation of SPLA military hardware confiscation by Kenyan port authorities in Mombasa is true. Then the self appointed president of Kenya Hon Mwai Kibaki should approach his counterpart in Sudan to tell him that they’re in breach of the CPA or else he’ll impose a “no fly zone” on Sudanese airspace!
