Sudanese protest against President Al-Bashir in Cairo
2013-03-14
[Al Ahram] Dozens of Sudanese protesters chanted against Sudanese President Omar Al-Bashir in front of Al-Ahram premises in Cairo on Wednesday, as a Sudanese delegation paid a visit to Al-Ahram Centre for Political and Strategic Studies.
It's much safer than it is to demonstrate in Khartoum.
Accompanied by police personnel holding batons, demonstrators held placards condemning the "crimes" committed by Al-Bashir's regime against children and citizens.

Speaking over a microphone, protesters chanted: "Post-revolution Egypt should not deal with the criminal regime of Al-Bashir."

Other chants demanded condemnation of the "Darfur atrocities."

Executive Chairman of the Darfur Regional Authority Tijani Sese, Sudanese investment minister Mostafa Osman, and Sudanese ambassador to Cairo Kamal El-Din Hassan were invited to take part in a forum at the Al-Ahram Centre for Political and Strategic Studies in downtown Cairo.

The protest prompted a delay in their arrival, and the delegation eventually entered through a back door.

#15  TW: Is it ok for me to mention that my cat's parents never did the honorable thing and wed?

Snowy Thing: cats are like Shiites, allowed to marry for the duration, rather than burn. It is perfectly honourable.

There's an illustration of 'necessarily rude'...

#10  The Russians make weapons much more cheaply than us and on top of it give 'em away at a loss, in exchange for loans that never have to be repaid.

#9  We don't worry so much about non-PC round here as we do about being unnecessarily rude. (Necessarily rude is something else altogether, in which I have, when requred, engaged.) I worry about the state of his poor, dear mother, who would be appalled at his abjurance of the manners he learnt at her knee.

#8  TF - about your "comment" - Do what?

"did I say something not PC?"

Actually, you said something trashy.

Trashy is as trashy speaks does. Own it.

#1  The whole region is one big business opportunity. Raghead jigaboos in big hats ( sorry did I say something not PC?) who shoot people who complain about being citizens treated like a herd of goats?

I think what we need to do is send in another "ambassador" like we did in Libya who has a lot of good connections with loads of guns and UHaul trailers full of grenades and RPGs ( like our "ambassador" in Libya did) and see if we can sell them more of what they really like ( even if they already have a lot anyway.)

But why sell them food and bandages when you can sell them weapons? No matter how you cut it, they will use the major part of the stuff on EACH OTHER. And its a looong way from Kansas now ain't it?

There are at least five warehouses FULL of weapons in Alexandria and Fairfax just across the Potomac...OR you can contract it all out so you can deny you did it. There must be a lot of loose weapons floating around the region that you can buy up by the weight rather than the actual value and then sell with a bucket or two of gun oil .
And THEN sell them some ammo too....and pat them all on the back.
