The Sudanese Media Centre (SMC) cited the head of Al-Zubeir charity foundation Ibrahim Abdel-Halim as saying that the first airlift will contain 10 tonnes of food, medicine and shelter equipments as well as a medical team including all disciplines.

He said that the aid to Pakistan will continue after mobilizing all organizations which rushed to help in an expression of brotherly feelings towards people there.

Up to 1,600 people have been killed and two million made homeless in Pakistan’s worst floods in decades.

Earlier this month, the Sudanese foreign ministry said that upon instructions from the Vice President Ali Osman Taha, the country will airlift aid to Pakistan citing stances of the latter towards Sudan.

    Instead of feeding the dying in Darfur, it is taking food to Pakistan in the far east. Is NCP really a responsible party?

    that is ironic, how come the NCP is giving out food aid to pakistanis while at the same time it is starving the darfuris(sudanese) in kalma camp and other camps and also expelling aid members and groups who can help those devastated people. there are also flooded areas in sudan such as in kosti(while nile state), shendi and others that are facing floods. homes, properties, and lives have been lost. Isn’t that where they suppose to direct the aid(charity begin at home). sometimes it is unconceivable the way the NCp government behave.

    Talk about misplaced priorities. Sudan has millions of people going without food and they have the nerve to send food to Pakistan? When are these so-called arabs going to stop kissing real arabs arses?

    Fools carry themselves.

    If Sudan starts supplying aid to disadvantaged people abroad,then what is the need of relief in Sudan’s regions of Darfur,south Sudan and the IDPs in Khartoum.

    I think NCP considers people of these regions as non human being.Or they might be taking this disaster in Pakistan as opportunity to exporting terrorist equipments.

    A bird of the same feather will fly together,Pakistan flood is really alarming,but it was not man made incident but the creator alone knows,and also can not be compared will flood during the time of Noah.
    For Government of Khartoum to Airlifting Aid to Pakistan is something difficult to tell if his own citizen Darfurans are dying of hungry in western sudan.

    Well, the statment is now very truely, how come for Sudan government to lift food aid to Pakistan while citizens are left dying of hunger in refugees camps and Internal Displaced camps and Southern Sudanese. Is that really true?

    Why do Bashir Let Southern Sudan government ask for humantarian aids assistance from international organisation since he has food?

    Pakistanians are now citizens of Sudan rather than Darfurian and Southerners.

    What kind of unity still talking about?

    Anyway, Bashir has highlight the people of Sudan with his vision whether he try driven Sudanese people too. As individual, the reason why Bashir and great terror of Sudan Ali Osman Taha do such events, is because Pakistanian are supporters of Bashir regime and engulf be Muslim.

    ”Don’t quote me wrong, i know what i am talking about, I know their profile internationally from door-to-door”

    You support your leaders again as you witness what they had done in Sudan.
