Sudan parliament rejects talks with rebels
[Bangla Daily Star] Sudan's parliament rejected yesterday a United Nations...an organization which on balance has done more bad than good, with the good not done well and the bad done thoroughly... call for talks with rebels who have been fighting government troops for almost a year. It also said it would not allow foreign aid agencies into rebel-held areas of South Kordofan and Blue Nile states, as proposed jointly by the United Nations, African Union ...a union consisting of 53 African states, most run by dictators of one flavor or another. The only all-African state not in the AU is Morocco. Established in 2002, the AU is the successor to the Organisation of African Unity (OAU), which was even less successful... and Arab League. ...an organization of Arabic-speaking states with 22 member countries and four observers. The League tries to achieve Arab consensus on issues, which usually leaves them doing nothing but a bit of grimacing and mustache cursing... Rebels of the Sudan People's Liberation Movement-North (SPLM-N) have been fighting in South Kordofan since last June, and in Blue Nile since September. Posted by: Fred 2012-05-15 |
