But the absence of many key leaders, including Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah, has dashed hope of progress. The summit, initially scheduled for two days, has been shortened to one. It opened with a recitation of the Koran and an address by Algerian President Abdelaziz Bouteflika.

As if this story is not disturbing enough.  There are reports,
which link Major General Salah Abdullah Ghosh (the man responsible for
murdering, raping, and attacking the people of Darfur) to the U.S. and
British Govenrments.  This guy actually travelled to the U.K.
under a visa to disscus the War on Terror with high seated government
officials. Did they detain him, and charge him with crimes against
humanity.  No, they hung out, and wrapped about those pesky
terrorist evildoers who are everywhere and yet nowhere. 

Read the full article here... 





Here is one such source, Iain Levine, program director of Human Rights Watch stated, "The situation on the ground remains extremely grave. War crimes and
crimes against humanity are being committed daily, attacks, killings,
rapes, are continuing. Major General Salah Abdullah Ghosh has been
named by us and others as being one of the architects of the atrocities
being committed. So the fact that he's being received in the U.K. and
the U.S., supposedly because he's providing extremely important
intelligence on counterterrorism, is somewhat troubling. We know that
his name has been recommended by a U.N. sanctions panel, for targeted
sanctions against him, and we very much want to see those sanctions put
into place.

Also,
in case you missed it, the New York Times is allowing the Sudanese
Government to take out advertising, which paints the genocidal
government in a better light.  A more fun loving, kitchy bunch who
may or may not provide assistance or step aside, while you get raped
and murdered all the time government appeared in the pages of the
Times.  And the Times was able to hold up their integrity, why,
because they got money of course. 

An excert from the article and daily new report I referenced above:



"As a student-led campaign urging divestment from companies doing
business in Sudan gains momentum in the U.S., the Sudanese government
pays close to $1 million for an eight-page supplement in the paper. The
ad advocates investing in companies operating in Sudan. In response,
Sudan activists flooded the New York Times with demands for an apology."

 Here is another source on the ad's.  Click here...
