US
to send $30 million in military aid to South Sudan govt
May 3, 2007 (WASHINGTON) - President George W. Bush approved a second $30
million (A22.1 million) installment of military aid to southern Sudan's
autonomous government, the White House announced.
The money is to help upgrade the region's former
guerrilla force, the Sudan People's Liberation Army, into a conventional
army, develop a defense plan for the region, establish a protective service
for southern Sudan's president and high-ranking officials and create a
police force and intelligence service.
"The United States has a critical interest in facilitating security
sector reform in southern Sudan," National Security Council spokeswoman Kate
Starr said in a statement.
The SPLA, ethnic African non-Muslims, fought a
2-decades-long war against the mainly Arab central government in Khartoum that ended three years ago. The conflict, separate
from the Muslim-Muslim violence in Darfur, Western
Sudan, was blamed for more
than 2 million deaths, primarily from war-induced famine and disease.
To give the money to southern Sudan, Bush had to waive a section of the U.S. Arms Control
Act that prohibits giving military aid to countries that sponsor terrorism.
While Sudan remains on the U.S. State Department's list
of state sponsors of terror, southern Sudan qualifies for the waiver because
it has had its own regional government under the 2004 comprehensive peace
agreement that ended the civil war. Under the agreement, the region can hold
a referendum in 2011 on whether to become an independent country.

Recently, the Bush
Administration allowed and gave its blessings to arms shipped to Ethiopia from North Korea. In case
you are not aware of it, the Bush Administration was the driving force behind
getting an arms embargo against North Korea within the United Nations. This prohibits the sale and shipment of
military hardware from North Korea. However,
to assist the proxy government in Ethiopia, the Bush Administration literally shredded the
embargo against North Korea. The
Native Americans once called the “Great White Father” those who “speak with a forked tongue”. In other words, one could not believe what
they said or even what they agree to, as written upon paper. There was little integrity.
Today, we see the same
happening in Sudan. The
American government and corporations in the business of arms and oil have
managed to flaunt their own orchestrated agreements and laws. This can only further affirm that there is
a gross lack of
integrity within the American government. The people of the world have increasingly
observed this and there is a critical point of no return. America was once the beacon of integrity, although it
was not deserving of it, but that was the perception, especially after the
Civil Rights Movement. Much of this
was an illusion and the open evils of America simply went underground, were marked top secret,
and redacted.
These weapons to the Sudanese people must be
denounced! Weapons given to rebels are for the purpose
of creating more chaos. So long as
Jonas Savimbi of Angola was being provided weapons for 27 years,
millions of Angolans were being killed.
As stated in past CART Analysis, the more chaos in an African nation,
the greater the profits of American and European corporations. It is shameful when Black men and women clamor to profit in the same
manner! We even see the false
delineations of Arab versus Black Africans in this article. As you know, I have shown how these were
mythical creations from the imaginations of economic predators. Virtually all of Sudan is “Black Africa”, in spite of the fact that
most speak Arabic. Almost all Blacks
in America speak English but it does not make the
English. The economic predator’s
method of operation is to spread disinformation and to bombard you with it on
a constant basis until you accept it as fact and the truth. This is not about Black Africans versus
Arabs. This is not about Muslim versus
Christian. It is all about greed and
specifically about the abundant natural resources of Sudan. Certainly,
Kuwait, Saudi and other Arab nations are involved in Sudan, that’s only natural. However, it is important to bring these
facts into balance with reality.
The following is the
thinking of the elite of Europe and America in the 1930s, and still is:

Nothing but the
dominion of white races can maintain order and security in Africa, and ensure progress and development in the
native population. To establish and to
strengthen this dominion is work done in the source of world peace. The threatening signs of a colored rising
in all parts of Africa call urgently for decisive action…..
The unequivocal
demands contained in the political testament of the well-known Baron Tanaka
and addressed to the Emperor of Japan, requiring Japan to turn its back on Europe and America, to take the leadership of the colored races,
and to establish their predominance throughout Asia, are rapidly becoming the creed of the natives in all of the
colonial areas……
It cannot be repeated
too often that it is high time that western powers realized the threat to
their existence resulting from the unity of purpose
of the colored peoples in their hostility to the white races……..
And the political
movement in favor of the Abyssinians that is being worked up among the
negroes in the United States who are volunteering for service in the
Abyssinian army and have even offered to give airplanes…..
Ghandi has been organizing national collections to
raise funds for the support of Abyssinia,
and the Hindu delegate Giri has brought in a vote
of protest in the Parliament of Delhi against Italy’s action towards colored peoples. ….
What must be done
therefore is to work for the peaceful
penetration of the country, to open up the bordering territories by the
building of roads, and to take the government of the country firmly in
hand. Under these conditions, the
rudder could be put over, and the situation saved at the last minute……
It is purposeless to
bombard the native mud huts, since no appreciable damage would be done….. [Recall Donald Rumsfeld’s
statement about bombing in
Afghanistan]
The native certainly
has the one advantage over European colonial troops, who are not used to
the climate, lack of water, and unvarying diet, that he can keep on the
march for days with a minimum of nourishment (a few handfuls of dry grain)
and with hardly any clothing, and makes light of the great fluctuations in
altitude and climate conditions.
Foreign troops can only make very slow progress in the deserts and
mountainous country unless they are furnished with special equipment and
provisioning. And the danger of
pestilence is great, both for men and animals……
On thing can be said
with certainty, and that is that it would be risky to push forward a rapid
advance into Ethiopian territory, and that to be successful it would be
absolutely necessary to penetrate gradually,
fortifying the conquered positions at once, and establishing the necessary
connections (roads, railways, bridges, telephone lines, and water supply
pipes) with the colonial hinter-land.

How Do You Conquer Abyssinia?
The task of opening
up the country could be accomplished not so much by military operations
as by constant efforts towards establishing
a friendly understanding with the border tribes and by proclaiming development,
free of all barbaric oppression, under the rule of the native chiefs.

The apprehensively
inclined should remember the words of the wise French minister Klobukowishi, with his profound knowledge of the
subject, “Abyssinia will not be conquered, it will be bought!”

“Firmly in hand” implies
making African leaders and chiefs their harlots, their prostitutes. Something to be used for another’s
pleasures and then to be cast aside. What
you read here is what preceded today’s game of “humanitarianism” to attain Africa’s resources while, not only assuring that White nations did not go
down, but rise. African people,
overall, have not become better as a result of this so-called aid from America and Europe. Aid brought you AIDS. It brought more death. It brought more fighting. It brought more dependency on those whose
motive is to maximize value at any cost.
Realize your power as a unified Black people. Put aside your silly differences, old and
new grudges. White fear is even more
apparent than it was in the 1930s and they have long been making covert moves
to forever exterminate the source of those fears. Black
Power is Unity. Black Power is
Integrity! Black Power is Love! Black Power is far deeper than the skin
pigmentation.
