Sudanese Diplomat Blasts U.S. Sanctions Friday June 1, 2007 2:01 AM By EDITH M. LEDERER Associated Press Writer UNITED NATIONS (AP) - Sudan's U.N. ambassador accused President Bush on Thursday of imposing new sanctions against his country for domestic political reasons and said Americans should feel ``ashamed'' because Sudans making progress on ending the bloodshed in Darfur. In an interview with The Associated Press, Ambassador Abdalmahmood Abdalhaleem Mohamad said U.S. sanctions ``will cripple the humanitarian situation in Darfur'' and elsewhere in the country, because they target railways, airplanes and other transportation links. But he noted that when the U.S. first imposed sanctions against Sudan nearly 10 years ago, the government achieved ``miracles'' and ``emerged as an oil-exporting country.'' ``Now maybe it is a blessing in disguise,'' Mohamad said. ``We will prove to them that we are resilient and we will grow stronger than what they think. We will transform the challenges into opportunities.'' In November 1997, the U.S. imposed sanctions on Sudan for supporting international terrorism, destabilizing neighboring governments and human rights violations. It cut off about 130 Sudanese companies from the U.S. banking system, forcing them to find other ways to do business. Bush ordered the new sanctions Tuesday to pressure Sudan's government to halt the bloodshed in Darfur that the administration has condemned as genocide. He accused the government of being ``complicit in the bombing, murder and rape of innocent civilians'' and said ``the world has a responsibility to put an end to it.'' More than 200,000 have died and 2.5 million have been displaced in the four-year conflict between ethnic African rebels and pro-government janjaweed militia. A beleaguered, 7,000-strong African Union force and a peace agreement signed between the government and one rebel group have been unable to stop the fighting. Responding to Mohamad's allegations, Richard Grenell, spokesman for the U.S. Mission to the United Nations, said Thursday that Sudan's government ``has blocked, obstructed, and slowed the pace of Security Council action to end this tragedy. The American sanctions are designed to change the behavior of the government of Sudan.'' The new sanctions bar 31 companies from the U.S. banking system. Thirty of the companies are controlled by the government and are mainly involved in the oil industry, while the other one is suspected of shipping arms to Darfur. The measures also target three individuals, including a rebel leader, suspected of being involved in the violence in Darfur. ``Unfortunately, the United States is politicizing the oil industry because of its very silly objectives in Darfur and elsewhere,'' Mohamad said. He added that the U.S. sanctions ``came not because of our inaction, it came because of our action, because we are active, because we are cooperating, because we are progressing on various fronts - the humanitarian, the political and the peacekeeping.'' The new sanctions come at a delicate time in negotiations on a 23,000-strong U.N.-African Union ``hybrid'' force for Darfur, and efforts by the two organizations to get all the combatants to the negotiating table. In November, Sudan's President Omar al-Bashir agreed to a three-phase U.N. plan to strengthen the AU force in Darfur, but he has since delayed its implementation and backtracked on the hybrid force. The AU and U.N. agreed last Thursday on details of the hybrid force, which were then put in a proposal Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon gave to Mohamad on Friday. ``I think they have to feel ashamed of themselves because Friday they passed a presidential statement in the Security Council welcoming that they received the report about the hybrid operation ... and then they come only after three or four days to sanction Sudan,'' Mohamad said. ``I think it's now very clear for members of the Security Council to know that the issue (U.S. sanctions against Sudan) has nothing to do with Darfur. It has only to do with settling domestic (issues) in the United States with Democrats, NGOs,'' he said. Despite the new U.S. sanctions and the threat of U.N. sanctions, Mohamad said Sudan will attend a meeting in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, next week on the hybrid force proposal. ``We want it to go ahead,'' Mohamad said. ``We will continue with our commitments with the international community. The American sanctions will have no bearing at all with our cooperation with the U.N. ... and the United States at the end will be isolated, as it is now isolated.'' http://www.dehai.org/

Fact: The UN investigation concluded that what has happened in the Darfur region of Sudan is not genocide. The following is a link that represents how the Investor Class is and always has been in America. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/video/2007/05/31/VI2007053100504.html The Investor Class, including most of those who work for big media, is promoters of a Wall Street culture that has always been anti-Black and promoters of greed. Notice the words the operative, Dana Milbank, uses. Observe his reference to the gold watch worn by the Sudanese ambassador, as if a government leader of a country that has lots of gold should not be wearing such a watch. This sort of reminds me of how Spain recently filed a complaint about the Americans who found millions of dollars in treasure coins in a sunken Spanish ship. Spain claims ownership but neither of these children of thieves, pimps, swindlers and murders acknowledge where the gold was being shipped from. Notice his words of “stipulating rather madly” when referring to selective words from a one hour press conference. Note the use of the word “threatening” referring to the ambassador’s reference to Sudan withholding certain ingredients used in Coke. Sudan is a “potential” bread basket of the world. This could become a reality, providing we keep the corporate predators of America and Europe out. Why all of this about Sudan? It’s all about the oil and China being the major beneficiary of that oil and other minerals. In spite of all of the pre-posturing and veiled military threats from the United States, China, in all likelihood will veto the UN resolution being promoted by America for sanctions against Sudan. The only way China would not veto is if the resolution is weak and almost meaningless. With Britain’s Prime Minister Blair gone, it remains to be seen if Britain will continue to be in the lead regarding the pursuit of war in Sudan. A few months ago, Britain suggested that it and the United States should be prepared to go at it alone militarily in Sudan. Imagine that. America is already financially trillions of dollars in debt with the younger generation being poorer than the older fat cats of the baby boomer generation, who are now the ones with their hands on the American treasury. They should be concerned about a class and generational war here in America. These “animalized” young men and women are not violently attacking the elderly by happen stance. Also, the Sudanese ambassador was accurate when he stated that the African Union do not support a 20,000 UN force in Sudan. He was correct about the UN not finding that genocide has been committed in the Darfur region of Sudan. The Washington Post reporter, Dan Milbank, lied when he stated that Sudan will not allow African Union forces into Sudan. In fact, when you look at his demeanor in the video, he looks like some of the old white southerners who were trying to build a case to lynch a Black man. Observe the eyes and the body language. Because African Americans have had a long history with Whites in America, many of them can immediately pickup on this. There are and has been for quite some time, at least three thousand African Union troops present in Sudan. There is constant diplomacy being worked out between the Horn of Africa nations for peace in Sudan and the rest of the region. Although it is not reported in American and British news sources, there are ongoing talks in Eritrea and other areas about the situation in Sudan. The corporations of America are the villains that continue meddling and sewing seeds of division and war. Last month, the Bush Administration agreed to provide $30 million in weapons to the southern region of Sudan. They are not providing weapons to the government of Sudan but weapons to others who can stir up chaos for the government. There has been a number of CART Analysis about the situation in Sudan. There has been huge propaganda and lies promoted in the United States with huge full page ads in major newspapers and on television. For example, one of the major lies was that Muslims are killing Christians in the Darfur region of Sudan. I have shown that this is not the case. At least 97% of Sudan is Muslim. American media has lied, in stating that Arabs are killing Black Africans. The reality is that this is mostly Black Africans killing each other over grazing land. Have there been 200,000 deaths as the U.S. and Britain claim? No, there hasn’t. The Sudanese government claims that there have been less than 10,000 deaths. The British and American governments have not shown any evidence of 200,000 deaths. In fact, some media personalities in the Washington Post recently claimed 400,000 deaths. You will now here other repeating this untruth. Where is the evidence? Where are the graves? Show the facts. Thus far, these have been lies similar to those told as the Bush Administration and big oil corporations were making plans to militarily takeover the Iraqi oilfields. This dates back to the 1975 plan drawn up to seize various oilfields around the world. African oil was the contingency plan, in the event of failure in the Near East (Iraq, Iran, etc.) Virtually all of the Sudanese are Black Africans who happens to speak Arabic as a result of Arab influence over several hundred years. Some of the CART Analysis written on Sudan are as follows: Sudan and China are Interlinked 2008 Presidential Position on Darfur, Sudan Eritrea, Sudan and China Americans and Sudan Agree as Ghana Becomes Chair of African Union American Military Raid of Sudan's Baghdad Embassy Sudan's Darfur Region - The Facts, Not Million Dollar Ads Ethiopia, Sudan and American Congressman Donald Payne Rice's Speach at Africa Society Summit Regarding Sudan Rice's Speach at Africa Society Summit Regarding Sudan - Part IV Rice's Speach at Africa Society Summit Regarding Sudan - Part III Sudan, Eritrea, and Eastern Rebels Talk Peace Rice's Speach at Africa Society Summit Regarding Sudan - Part I Rice's Speach at Africa Society Summit Regarding Sudan - Part II Sudan Comprehensive Peace Agreement What African Americans' Position Should Be Regarding Sudan Zionist Lies Targeted at Sudan Who Are Sudan's Janjaweed Should America Bomb Africans in Sudan Sudan, the Voice of Opposition Sudan and Chevron Sudan President Omar al-Bashir Why Should African Americans Be Concerned? The reason Sudan and all of Africa must be important to African Americans is because you are here in America and other areas of the diaspora with divine purpose to reach back and save Africa as you also save yourself. The oil and other mineral wealth of Africa are yours and theirs, not the Wall Street corporations of America and Europe. African oil and gas industry need African American capital investment. That comes with a requirement for inclusive governance and a plan for all of the people. Profits from the richest industry in the world will then be brought to bear for entry into virtually any other industry. This is not the time to be silent about what America and Europe is conspiring to do and is doing in Africa. A nation that will construct the HIV synthetic virus to kill millions of Blacks all around the world is not a friend of Black people. It is time for the Black Universe to claim their riches. That can only be done by constantly embracing Africa and holding leaders accountable.
