So I put on my rose colored glasses to march for Freedom. But I couldn't find the rally
Found this bogus UN sculpture though (for a terrorist enabling organization that's pretty lame.)
I almost leave and a come upon a small group. That's us in the photo right (I am standing next to ex-slave Simon Deng) the voice of Sudan Freedom walk. 21 days for the people of Sudan - from New York City to Washington, DC
Click on any and all pictures for enlargement.
Manute Bol , Simon Deng and Charles Jacobs (an unsung hero, the man that brought Deng to national attention)
Thankfully, the crowd beings to grow, but it is depressingly small for a "Walk to End Injustice"
No big media. Charles Jacobs said, if this was done by the West, by white men, there would be thousands here.
Crowd maxed at 60-80 people, but the ex-slaves telling their harrowing stories was sickening. That the media pays it minimal lip service says speaks volumes to their moral bankruptcy.
ex Sudanese slaves "had we not escaped, we'd be dead by now."
"We are turning our backs on the UN. They [the UN] are worthless." "Kofi Anan is an African. He turned his back on the Africans." Huge anti-UN sentiment in this group boy. UN Bashing bashing
IT IS NOT THE JANJAWEED, IT IS THE GOVERNMENT SOLDIERS. GOVERNMENT SOLDIERS ARE MURDERING US."
"THEY ARE CALLING FOR JIHAD IN KHARTOUM."
Liberal Hawks Susan and Mary (Rona went MIA), and the UN glowering in the background
Manute Bol is very tall indeed -- in stature, but you knew that
amen PLEASE CONTRIBUTE
...why do they only talk about dis investing from companies that do business in Israel, and continue to hold stocks in companies, five of which are among the "dirty dozen" of divestterror.org's worst offenders of companies who do business with terror-supporting states
UPDATE: How appropriate that the UN would vote today to create another new ineffectual human rights body with the US voting no, of course (along with Israel and the Marshall Islands and Palau) - here;
[..]the 47-seat UN Human Rights Council is to expose human rights abusers and help nations draw up rights legislation.
It would replace the 53-country Geneva-based UN Human Rights Commission, which in recent years has included some of the world's most notorious rights violators.
US Ambassador John Bolton told the assembly that rules for the new council were too weak to prevent rights violators from obtaining seats.
Hey Kofi and co., tell it to those 400,000 dead Sudanese, those 30,000 enslaved and the brutally raped and trafficked children.
"Do what you did in Bosnia! Save us"
hmmmmmmmm..................
UPDATE: Go over to Exit Zero, Mary has her distinct and sharp take here
