Darfur Issue #5
by Dr. Fauzi

news that filter thru with regards darfur are sketchy to say the least, i have heard many excerpts both from the christian missionaries (oxfam, aid watch so forth) and the main stream british and world news (bbc, cnn afp so on) and also from official sudanese gov positions, the uk sudanese ambassador, the latter would disagree all western assertions few facts, the war has been going on for at least 10 years yet they require settlement and remedial actions in weeks and days, reports of genocides, totures and rapes (same has been labelled to mugabe, the actual situation in zimbabwe is actually not that bad) are based on a few human accounts of refugees these are not to be taken as truths, at best suspicions or just mere accusations, they must be tested before they can become facts, ministers, aid workers so forth go to one camp and make massive infalted claims on sudanese governments as collaborators to janjaweed, these people have been beligerent for years!! comments that i have heard in the news make your blood boils as they are half truths and accusations, there is no chance that these assertions can be substantiated. lets not make qualms that people do commit excesses, but there is a huge difference in saying sudanese government coconspire to genocides, totures and rapes!! there is a question of faith here, when a muslim comes to you with a piece of news, you must believe the muslim (especially when they profess to withold syariah) and mistrust should be given to news form the west, this is not a question of being a spoilsport!
