The Sudan Government has once again reverted to type as protests persist in the capital Khartoum. Students have been shot with rubber bullets and the US Government has expressed concern at the actions of Bashir’s thugs http://www.state.gov/r/pa/prs/ps/2012/06/193359.htm#.T-Fp9OOJKWc.twitter
Perhaps that concern should be a bit louder? Perhaps they’d like to mention the thousands dying in the Nuba Mountains and Blue Nile States? Perhaps they could make mention of the women who are being gang raped? The children maimed and traumatised? The refugees fleeing barefoot in terrible danger? Thousands forced to walk for days after reaching the point of starvation – many not making it. While the bombs continue to fall on them every day. Destroying a second year of planting. Ensuring another harvest fails.
No aid has been allowed in since June 2011. Can words really be enough?
World day of protest Saturday 30th June 2012.
