Special Report

Mr. President: Don't Forget Southern Sudan

(Page 2 of 2)

During her confirmation hearings to become Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton said ensuring implementation of the CPA would be a "top priority" of the State Department. So far, though, little has been done.

As a signatory of the CPA, the U.S. has an obligation to act. Given his widespread global support, President Obama should urge European nations to impose trade and monetary sanctions on the Sudanese government, as the U.S. has done. The United States should provide defensive weapons and communications equipment to the south, and can offer to help mediate issues like border demarcation and oil revenue sharing between the two sides.

When the CPA was signed in 2005, all Sudanese dared to dream of a lasting peace. Chief mediator and former Kenyan general Lazaro Sumbeiywo said, "The comprehensive agreement is a precious child to nurture with love and care." Sadly, this precious child is on the verge of death by neglect. But it's not too late. It's time for the U.S. to help save the child it helped create.

Sounds like another prime opportunity for The Messiah to blame America for the woes of the world.

He will make no mention of the humanitarian aid we have furnished to many countries in Africa. Especially where G.W.B. is involved. I predict he will mention that we haven't done enough in the recent past to assist the continent, but that is going to change now that he's the new kid on the block.

Of course, I could be wrong...

"During her confirmation hearings to become Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton said ensuring implementation of the CPA would be a 'top priority' of the State Department. So far, though, little has been done. "

The last sentence says it all about Democrats and black Africa. Just like their "political slaves" in America black Africa is a convenient tool to use in speeches and doing as Big J infers "blaming America." All Africa can expect from Obama is apologies, BS and hob nobbing with Muslim murderers.

Wonder if he'll ask the West Africans for an apology for their ancestors rounding up their enemies for the slavers to transport to the US? Naah, not a chance. However, someone had to go into the interior and collect the "product", don't you know.
