Sudan Freedom March: 400,000 Dead in Darfur, 2,000,000 South Sudanese and Counting

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

Solomonia points out,

...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

"Found this bogus UN sculpture though (for a terrorist enabling organization that's pretty lame.)"

The sculpture is meant to depict the effectiveness of UN peacekeeping operations:)

Pamela,
I put the post up on the Manute 2 days ago and have gotten almost 2000 hits from that 1 post and unreal I was in the city today.

I wish you would have put a comment at the site that there was March today in the city regarding Sudan. I WAS IN THE CITY TODAY.

You should put a link to my post on Manute's story.

Take care.

Pamela:

Thanks for writing about this and your pictures. I hope something can be done soon to stop the slaughter, but with the UN involved, somehow I don't think that is going to come to pass.

It's funny... When black Americans convert to Islam, they do so because Christianity was the slave-owner's religion. Yet, if you dig deep enough, you'll find that Muslims were mainly responsible for selling Africans in the first place. The former Sudanese slaves provide evidence that the practice is ongoing and wasn't given up in the 1860's as the left would have us believe. Thanks for the heads-up, Pamela!

You can't blame the MSM for not covering the story they have important things to do. Once Bush is impeached, and the Nancy Pelosi / Dennis Kucinich Presidential ticket is established for '08, than Brian Williams will be preening in front of Darfur refugee camps before you know it.

You're absolutely right - I attended a lecture by Simon Deng when he was at the University of Toronto a few weeks back and it was moving. He gave a horrifyingly vivid account his life as a slave that was a stinging indictment of the fundamentalist Islamic government of that country. There was a good turnout then (although there always could be more) and events like that help to really open up eyes with regards to the true nature of radical Islam.

BTW keep up the good work!

Who cares about Sudan, Pamela? It's a nation of retards. We have enough retards to deal with here at home. You must have a significant liberal streak to give such a damn about such a pathetic nation. I wouldn't give one penny to the emancipation of Sudan if I were a billionaire. I couldn't care less about Sudan. I couldn't care less about Africa. We should be putting our money into science, not to the emancipation of retards. If you were to know the Philosophy, you would get your priorities straight.

how tall is that guy?

Great post Atlas. You are indeed an Army of Davids!

[Dr Victorino de la Vega]

The New York Times reports that the Dutch government has decided to upgrade the compulsory “cultural integration” exams prospective immigrants have to take before obtaining a visa to the country of Erasmus...in order to “filter away all unwanted religiously conservative individuals”

“A lesson, about the Netherlands' nude beaches, is followed by another: homosexuals have the same rights here as heterosexuals do, including the chance to marry.

Just to make sure everyone gets the message, two men are shown kissing in a meadow.

The scenes are brief parts of a two-hour-long film that the Dutch government has compiled to help potential immigrants, many of them from Islamic countries, meet the demands of a new entrance examination that went into effect on Wednesday
”

Or course citizen of certain countries with high numbers of “religious conservatives” such as Israel and the US are exempted from taking the exam…but the Dutch government wants us to believe this shouldn’t be interpreted as blatantly racist double-standard directed at Arabs and Mohammedans!

But there’s even worse that sheer racism at work here: ironically, by focusing its message on nude beaches, swingers clubs, hash bars…etc. the Dutch government is contributing to the distortion and debasement of Western culture in the eyes of its critics, thus reinforcing their prejudices.

Just like their Neocon friends in Washington and Tel-Aviv, the Muslim-bashers of Amsterdam and The Hague are useful idiots feeding the anti-Western narrative of Osama Bin Laden and Ayman Al-Zawahiri.

Instead of promoting humanistic and secular values by building schools and universities with modernist secular curricula in the Middle-East and South Asia, instead of telling prospective immigrants the world over that Europe is a beacon of humanism and democracy, we’re content with provoking Muslims gratuitously.

In Hitler’s Germany, Jehovah's Witnesses were forced to accept blood transfusion and force-fed ham so they could become “good Germans”.

In Guantanomo’s prisons, Arab and Muslim detainees were routinely forced to watch gay porn movies while listening to the Israeli national anthem

I guess this must have paved the way for the Dutch government’s new immigration law…

Doc Vega, if you are a lady and you go to the middle east your asked to wear a burka...Adjust to that culture....no ifs ands or buts.....Those same demanding middle eastern people travel to other countries and want to see those cultures bend to their whims and ways…..Don’t be pointing a race finger until you have selected the right group of people to point at……
