U.S.-Israeli Assault on Sudan
A look at the Methodology of Imperialism
Richest Continent: Poorest People:
Africa is being broken down and
re-colonized. War, division, fratricide, disease (AIDS), poverty,
starvation
are being used to destroy Africa. The wealth of Africa attracts
predators.
The plan has worked out to make Africa helpless and totally open to the
exploiters. (Massive ads for Rothmans and Guinness dot the beautiful
landscape of Ghana where children have to take European names to get
proper
schooling.) The vast deposits of Africa's wealth now once again belong
to the
European/American master race.
SUDAN: ROCK OF RESISTANCE: In the ocean of helpless Afriica, Sudan is a
beacon of light.
1. It is Africa's biggest country in a number of
ways.
2. It produces enough food to feed its own
people.
3. It unites the Black people of Africa under
the
unifying banner of Islam.
4. Sudanese universities, like
the
International University of Africa, attract students from all over
Africa,
thus creating the nucleus of African unity.
5. Islam is very progressive in Sudan, women
play
an eminent role in politics and parliament, slavery is against the law
and
the Christian minority is well-protected.
STEPS TAKEN TO BREAK SUDAN:
1. The U.S. and Israel decided to break Sudan's unity
by
encouraging, financing and arming a brutal army officer's tribal group
in the
South which had kept a simmering rebellion going for years. Because the
officer's group called the SPLA is Christian, a propaganda gambit
opened up
to make the claim that Muslims are fighting Christians in south Sudan.
2. An attempt to shatter African unity was made through
the
claim (spread far and wide by the Zionist media) that "fair-skinned
Arabs" of
northern Sudan are fighting the Black people of the South! (Fact: ALL
SUDANESE ARE BLACK, of various shades. Dr. Hassan Turabi and General
Bashir
{now at odds) are both Black.) Muslims speak Arabic in Sudan; being
"Arab"
has nothing to do with skin color.
3. THE SLAVERY STORY: As the U.S. prepared to move against
Sudan, a clever attempt was made to defuse African-American support for
Sudan. (The U.S. would have had a domestic problem, as in the case of
South
Africa, if it nakedly moved against an African country.) So, two
reporters
from the Baltimore Sun (a well-known Jewish daily, rabidly pro-Israel)
were
sent secretly to a place in Sudan, through a missionary organization in
Switzerland. They took photos of some healthy and peaceful Sudanese
children
and came back with the claim that these children were slaves and they
(the
reporters) had paid money to free them from the slave owner, Thereafter
a
storm of propaganda was let loose to make the claim that slavery is
rife in
Sudan and that it is encouraged by the Islamic government.
The main purpose of the propaganda was to demonize Sudan and to
defuse
African-American opposition to sanctions.
4. The terrorism story. The slavery story and the claims of
Sudan's
support for terrorists dovetailed. (Osama Bin Laden had stayed in Sudan
for
some time.)
Thereafter the U.S. moved against Sudan, stopped Sudan Air from
flying
to Europe, imposed strict sanctions on Sudan, and encouraged
neighboring
countries to attack.
The Jamaat al-Muslimeen initiative:
Our Secretary-General, Sis. Ashira Na'im was in Sudan
for
about a year during the time when the "slavery" propaganda was at its
height.
As a result, in Baltimore, Jamaat al-Muslimeen put forth an
effective response to the Zionist machine:
1. JAM picketed the offices of the Baltimore Sun.
2. Three JAM activists called into a radio show by WJHU to
counter
propaganda against Sudan.
3. Dr. Kaukab Siddique's article against the slavery story was
published in the Final Call. For the first time, the Baltimore Sun
tried to
rebut the article.
4. Sis. Ashira's response was published in the Baltimore
Times.
5. The McNair report was published in New Trend. It indicates
that
there is no slavery even in the war zone, though tribes capture people
to
exchange them for their own prisoners. The Islamic government has
outlawed
slavery.
6. Dr. Siddique while giving the Eid Khutba to 15,000 people
in
Chicago's McCormick place demanded an end to sanctions against Sudan
and Iraq.
The Zionists were defeated in Baltimore, but they had backup.
They
continued their propaganda in the New York Times and on BET. The
"slavery in
Sudan" story has now been published worldwide.

This report on Sudan was prompted by an article in a Muslim magazine,
al-Talib, published from UCLA which has swallowed the Zionist story on
Sudan
and has quoted a Jewish group called Human Rights Watch operating out
of New
York. If even Muslims are affected by the Zionists, the community
better wake
up.
