| Sudan Arabs: You Are Black Women, and You Are Our Slaves |
| 2004-06-23 |
| From The New York Times, an article by Nicholas Kristof .... Hatum Atraman Bashir, a 35-year-old woman who is pregnant with the baby of one of the 20 Janjaweed raiders who murdered her husband and then gang-raped her. Ms. Bashir said that when the Janjaweed attacked her village, Kornei, she fled with her seven children. But when she and a few other mothers crept out to find food, the Janjaweed captured them and tied them on the ground, spread-eagled, then gang-raped them. "They said, `You are black women, and you are our slaves,’ and they also said other bad things that I cannot repeat," she said, crying softly. "One of the women cried, and they killed her. Then they told me, `If you cry, we will kill you, too.’ " Other women from Kornei confirm her story and say that another woman who was gang-raped at that time had her ears partly cut off as an added humiliation. .... |

| #24 Dan, it might be that "there's no strategic assets", but there weren't and aren't any in Kosovo. Frankly, it's a non-starter because there are no political points to score in this one, and there also is no clear "enemy" for the usually-outraged to get outraged about. There isn't a middle-class being turned out and killed by text-book facists, there's no clear racial oppression, there's no 'scenic' territory to get romantic about. It's just a dusty place where one group nearly physically identical to second group is killing them. Besides, there's an election coming up- regaining the White House is more important than a bunch of Africans anyway... |

| #23 Anon5345, plz take you pill today, you are ranting but making little sense. What happened in 1800s has NOTHING to do with what is going on in Sudan (other than it's still going on). Why aren't the Black leaders in Congress and Jeese 'Shakedown' Jackson wailing about this? they were plenty loud when South Africa had apartheid, why the silience on Sudan? |

| #22 It is a dirty little secret but the colonization of Black Africa was sold to XIXth century public opiniuon as the means to protect the blacks against Arab slave traders. And if you look in the press from 188x, 189x you see here and there accounts of battles between the patrols of the colonial armies and expeditions of slave traders. |

| #19 Chris W., as I've asked many times here on RB, where are Harry Belafonte and Danny Glover on this? They are both loud mouth liberal jerkoffs. Maybe they can use their celebrity to shine some light on this problem and do some good for a change. But, since they are both hard core lefties, that means they are in league with the Islamofascists. They won't say a thing. |

| #18 I think these kinds stories bother me the most among the multitude of stories that get IGNORED by our LLL "friends". How can they turn their backs on this, while reporting with a straight face Barry Bonds's statements about the "racist" Boston Red Sox? I find the concept profoundly disturbing. |

| #17 #2 they are barbarians....enabled by Islam. Not all Moslems are barbarians, but the "religion of peace" enables this behavior by those who are. Well put, B. I still do not comprehend why civilized countries do not simply monitor Jangaweed activity for a major concentration of their troops so that one single air sortie could be used to wipe them out. They are committing crimes against humanity and the Sudanese government's complicity demands that outside forces eliminate these maggots. |

| #16 What we need is a government organization that can secretly funnel arms and train a non-Muslim army in the south. Why government? Why not an independent charity to do it? |

| #14 Time to fund a trip by Al Sharpton to Western Sudan. Yeah, and more-time to start making US funding of the UN contingent upon taking action against genocidal crimes before they become genocidal extermination. (Not holding my breath, France, Germany, Chile, Russia,...) |

| #12 Dan, probably right. They need to start wearing womens panties on their heads to get any real attention from the media.... |

| #10 Whenever the black villagers fight back a little the Janjaweed killers withdraw and call in the Sudanese military. The Army and Air Force then levels the village under the pretense of "keeping the peace". Nothing will happen about this because the US is busy and the rest of the "civilized" world doesn't care. Face it, in the absence of a strategic resource to protect, it's difficult to get First World taxpayers excited about defending foreigners. |

| #9 So much for the vaunted "Islamic equality." |

| #8 RC is right. Most of the charities working in this area are peaceful Christian organizations and would not supply arms to the south Sudanese even if they could. What we need is a government organization that can secretly funnel arms and train a non-Muslim army in the south. Too bad we don’t have a secret organization that would be able to perform this task. We used to have one but they are too busy having ‘Gay Pride Day’ and are too scared to venture into a war that might upset some political/religious/ethnic group. Kind of makes you want to cry. |

| #7 I believe the problem is that the Janjaweed have government airpower backing them up. |

| #6 Ok, I am sounding like a broken record, but why aren't there any Western/Christian "charities" to provide arms to African undergoing genocide by Arabs and Muslims? Sadly, a lot of them have objections to people defending themselves, even against slavers. |

| #5 Are you kidding Raptor? Antisemite never posts in threads like this one--though she might now, saying "I condemn this, but of course the US and Israel are much worse." That would miss the point, which is that her jihadi boyfriend has tricked her--not at all difficult, considering she believes absolutely everything she reads from the Islamofascist websites she's always blathering about--into thinking that the poor Hamasniks are any different than these "militia" pieces of shit. |

| #4 What Ed said.And when they go for some payback just sit back and let them go. You do notice when we see these news items like this we seldom hear from the Islam supportter that hang out here,when we do they use the lame excuse"they are not true Muslims". |

| #3 Ok, I am sounding like a broken record, but why aren't there any Western/Christian "charities" to provide arms to African undergoing genocide by Arabs and Muslims? Sally Struthers, want to really "Save the Children"? Then arm their fathers and mothers. The best thing we can do for Africa is to defeat/kill/chase these Arabs and their jihadi mullahs all the back into that shithole Arabian peninsula. |

| #1 Hey Antisemite and Sammy--these animals aren't antiblack, they're antisomething else! Surely, Israel should "make peace" on the terms of these dedicated antisomethingists! |
