Darfur Food Disaster LoomsPosted on Mar 25, 2009
Aid agencies fear that more than a million people in the African region of Darfur may not be getting humanitarian food rations starting in May. The worries come weeks after the Sudanese government expelled more than a dozen foreign aid groups after the International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for Sudanese President Omar Hassan Ahmed Bashir.

Inherit the Wind, The silence on Darfur IS deafening. Maybe that’s why not much is happening to change things—America’s progressive/liberal left just is not interested. Small potatos. Muslim on Muslim, Muslim on Animist, etc., just doesn’t send the politically correct message of the day and so is ignored.

Amazing how silent TDers are on Darfur. As if the atrocities never happened…..That’s because Africans who aren’t Arab, even if Moslems, have lives that aren’t nearly as valuable as Palestinian lives.
That much is obvious.
Witness the hero’s welcome that bastard Bashir received from the Arab League—unanimously standing shoulder-to-shoulder with this sadistic psychopathic meglomaniac.
And apologists like Virginia777 are trying to claim there’s nothing going on there. I’ll bet V777 LIVES in Virginia but is from the Middle East. Not even FolkTruther, Wadosy or Ed Harges would go so low to make such a claim. I’ve never even seen Fadel deny the horror going on in Darfur.
Only Virginia777….....Why is that?

Virginia777—How have these aids groups been complicit in creating the “propaganda siege” and what are they saying that is not true?
Recently in Gaza some of the aids groups have gotten a few details wrong, but it all shakes out eventually as more witnesses are heard from, etc. (I realize Gaza is on a smaller scale than Darfur, but assume the same principles apply. The presence of human rights groups in Israel helps keep the IDF honest, whether or not every single allegation turns out to be true or not.)

Sadly some the aids groups HAVE been complicit in creating the “propaganda siege” that resulted, for one, in the International Court’s decision. The Save Darfur Coalition is vastly suspicious, as are many of the very, very well-funded “human-rights” groups that have taken this issue on.
Sanity can only be restored with the revoking of the Court’s decision, and a FAIR appraisal of the situation in Darfur,
but will this happen?
