hmmm its funny everyone expects the Arab nation to interven, but I do not see Nigeria sending troops to help the Africans.

What outcry if any has come from the Sudanese government, the Sudanese civil societies, the countries in the region or even the AU? None at all! Therefore black africa sees this as an internal matter for the government of Sudan to deal with and are reluctant to intervene. The media stirs the loins of those individuals in the west who are already preconditioned to hatred of a specific group of people and now everyone is on the same bandwagon. Other than numerous tomes here as to how you hate one group of humanity over another, what specifically are you doing or going to do to remedy the present situation?

Do you blame Nigeria with all the Muslim verses Christian crap in that country as well, start shipping troops out and what do you think would happen? Someone would take advantage. Plus Sudan is in the ARAB league, NIGERIA isn't. ok.

The Sudanese under attack need tactical and logisticalsupport, Nigeria probably can't offer that anyway, they haven't the equipment to do the job effectively.

And Sooofresh all you can do is divert attention and shift the blame elsewheresince you are incapable of focusing on the problem at hand whichulimately is the Sudanese government ARMING the perpetuators of the crimes being commited over there, which will lead to Genocide if people sit around to long...and again people BORN in Sudan seem to agree with me more.

PersonallyI shouldn't even be wasting my time with some 18 year old kid who is more interested in defending the realm instead of justice.

@peacemaker I do not believe anyone in this topic is born in Sudan , I think it just rolls out of their lips to make what they say sound more true.One person does not represent the whole of Sudan

Second it was you who said that Arabs should intervene WHY SHOULD THEY?

Listen whether you like it, you lived in Midlands all your life, you have never been to any country to Africa so you just dont have a foggiest idea.

Wether you like it or not this is a tribal war where both are African Muslims, and you just cannot handle the fact that Arab does not come in the equation.

All form of killings is wrong towards any type of people.

now either come with logic or get back to reading The SUN, where you get your info

Later

genocide=muslims true

genocide=Jewish people in Israel

kidding yourself

I say ban all religions

BUT then their will be other scapegoats, probably end up blaming Arawak Indians

Chupidness

Scoofresh ,

We are not asking the Arab world to send troops, all we are saying is why hasn't any Arab country criticize Sudan like they do Israel.

As for north and south co-exiting prior to british coming I doubt it. If the North and south co-exited just fine why would northerners not oppose the naming of a street after a slave trader(Zubeir Pasha), knowing how much southerners suffered.

Do you think you could get away naming a street after a famous slave trader in the USA?

@Again

so you know the opnions of all sudanease people based on a one slavemaster street nameconfused3

You asked to name one slavemaster street named in America?

Okay! but I am sure that certain big coop in America has a link thatÂ*goes back to the slavemasters

At the end of the day I have got nothing to gain from stating that the majority of people in Sudan oppose the government.

I am basing things on experience, and that is the majority of Sudanease people north AND south oppose the government.

Take it or leave it.

@name; what on the cockadoodle are you on about? you are on your early 20s and you go on like you are a big man/woman whatever you decide to claim to be.FOOL
