Arab League to appoint humanitarian coordinator for Darfur
The whole Arab states are a combination of dictatorships ruled by elite families grasping the wealth and leaving the citizens impoverished, hence we as wrongly forced to be part of them and due to our orgin its not a suprise that they have waken by ICC. The simplest question where they were when the regime in sudan killing 2millions of its citizens? forget a bout that up to 2007 there are a bout 108 international aid agencies in Darfur supplying foods and medics. In fact from 108 agencies only 3 from arab states and they’re mainley supplying advices to the regime
misleading them about the west. The first plane hit the ground with aid was westren plane, also the first plane came from arab states to straving people of darfur was full of quran books!!
Anyway the came is over as a marginalised people in sudan today is different from 10years or 50years ago! we as darfuri were misled by regimes to kill our brothers in south,and they understand that; cos now its all about right to live like a human. Time of placing their arse on chair and order marginalised to kill each other has gone for ever,
