    Please move your ass out of Darfur, Arab League. Go and build your north Sudan as you usually do. You have lost the rest of Sudan through your arrogance. Instead to thank all Africans in Sudan for eliminating their mother tongues and started speaking Arabic instead you despised them and rewarded them by mass killings.

    I am sure the new generation in Sudan would rather prefer to speak Hebrew rather than to speak your primitive Arabic language which back warded us rather than the progressing, comparing ourselves with the rest of African countries.
