Sudan For Dummies
Attention, class! Today’s lesson will be about a country in Africa. The country in question is Sudan. It lies just to the South of Egypt. Sudan is divided along racial and religious lines into three main sections. The Muslims control the North of the country and the capitol of Khartoum (regions 1,5,16,17,18 on the map below). The Christians control the South of the country (regions 19,20,21 on the map below). The Western part of the country is mostly black African tribes (region 7 below) and is called Darfur. You may have heard of Darfur recently. The Muslims in the North, who control the government and the military, have employed militia gangs of Muslim gunmen to practice genocide on the West Sudanese in Darfur. They are killing these people off because their skin is black and they are not Muslims.
The Muslims in the North do not like anyone who is not a Muslim. They have employed every means possible to eradicate the people in the Western part of the country. The United Nations has helped them by doing absolutely nothing and ignoring the mass murders. No one has an accurate count of how many black Africans have been killed in this genocidal war. Estimates are that as many as 2 million have died. Condaleeza Rice visited the Sudanese capitol last week and she and her entourage were roughed up and manhandled by the Sudanese security police but the Sudanese government issued an apology afterward so that makes it alright, right?
What you may not know is that the Muslims in the North engaged in a 21-year civil war against the Christians in the south that only ended last year. The Muslims in the North and the Christians in the South fought to a standstill and declared a truce, offering to share the government. Part of the agreement was that there would be a Muslim President and a Christian Vice President. The office of President was given to Omar el-Bashir, an ugly looking Muslim thug. The office of Vice President was given to John Garang, who had been the leader of the Southern Sudanese Christian rebels fighting the Northern Muslims.
Now we come to the part of our story that the Brits would call a “sticky wicket”. Two days ago, John Garang went missing as he flew by helicopter to his home in the South. It turns out Garang’s helicopter crashed in the mountains, killing all on board. Christians in the South are naturally suspicious and angry at the Muslims, suspecting foul play. I don’t blame them. Muslims cannot be trusted, believed or relied on. Especially in Africa. So it looks like Sudan may be on the verge of another civil war between the North and the South. The Christians and the Muslims. Meanwhile the black Africans in the West continue to starve and be murdered by roving bands of Muslim thugs. Now you know as much as Kofi Annan & the UN as well as Jesse Jackson and all the “African-Americans” know. They are doing nothing to stop this. This murder and genocide of “their people”. Millions more will die this year as Africa spirals back into darkness and the Muslim invaders purge the continent of all non-Muslims ....
KHARTOUM, Sudan—Rioters burned cars and threw stones in Sudan’s capital Monday after a helicopter crash killed the country’s vice president, who until recently was a southern rebel leader. Sudanese leaders appealed for calm and said the nation’s peace process would remain on track. But some southern Sudanese were suspicious about the circumstances of the death of John Garang, who was a key figure in the fledgling peace deal between the predominantly Arab Muslim government and the Christian south.
Anti-riot police were deployed to several areas of Sudan’s capital, Khartoum, where crowds pelted passers-by with stones and smashed car windows. At least 10 private and government-owned cars were set on fire. Khartoum’s governor ordered a 6 p.m.-6 a.m. curfew and the city’s streets were empty of people and traffic an hour before the order took effect. Witnesses reported at least two people had been killed during clashes in the capital. There was no official confirmation.
The U.S. Embassy in Khartoum said there were reports of violence in southern Sudan and issued a reminder of its warnings to Americans to avoid nonessential travel to the country. There were no details on the southern violence. The violence and widespread grief surrounding Garang’s death forced most in the capital to lock themselves inside their homes. Shop owners shuttered their stores.
“Murderers! Murderers!” yelled some southern Sudanese protesters who alleged the Sudanese government, which had battled Garang’s rebel force for two decades before this year’s peace deals, might have been behind the crash. “We lost Garang at a time when we needed him the most, but we think that we have made great strides toward peace and we believe that that peace process should continue,” said Garang aide Nihal Deng during an emergency Cabinet meeting.
Garang’s longtime deputy, Silva Kiir, was quickly named to succeed him as head of his Sudan People’s Liberation Army and as president of south Sudan, Garang spokesman Yasser Arman told The Associated Press. Kiir said he called a meeting of the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement top decision-making body to assemble for an emergency meeting. The SPLM became part of the national unity government in July, when Garang became vice president.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:
It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
- Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
- Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
- Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:

Oh, and here's some kind of visitor flag counter thingy. Hey, all the cool blogs have one, so I should too. The Visitors Online thingy up at the top doesn't count anything, but it looks neat. It had better, since I paid actual money for it.
