Sinister Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 Everytime I hear about Sudan it gets me vexed.You've got the government and the warlords going on like war criminals.You've got China in "aid" as they try to gain in oil reserves.And you got the two faced americans on the one hand trying to denounce them and on the other hand having secret meetings with their secret service to gain an upper hand in intelligence in Somalia.The people will always lose.

Humans stay failing.It's a great excuse though.The "War on terrorism" has opened up so many doors for the US in africa.It allows them to have presence in nations which have high uranium/plutonium reserves as well as natural fuels gas/oil etc.It also allows nations previously shunned by the world to build new relationships/reduce sanctions and they're allowed to do what they want in terms of imprisoning people/human rights abuses.
