Jamaat al-Muslimeen International Press Release
Slavery in Sudan Story was a Fabrication: The Truth Finally Admitted
Br. Hodari Ali Honored for his work in Defending the truth about Sudan
On March 9, 2002 a sedate but touching ceremony was held in Mount
Rainier, Maryland (just outside Washington, DC) to honor Br. Hodari
Abdul-Ali
for his services to the people of Sudan.
Readers might remember that the Zionist-media, starting with the
Baltimore Sun, lead a loud and vicious campaign against Sudan with the
claim
that there is "slavery in Sudan."
Br. Hodari Ali, who is a well-travelled friend of Africa and set
up
bookstores in American cities to disseminate quality books on African
history, culture and religion, VISITED SUDAN TWICE TO FIND OUT THE
FACTS FOR
HIMSELF. On one of these visits, he was with a Christian clergy group
investigating the same issue.
As Br. Hodari wrote in the Washington Informer (June 14-20, 2001
issue):
"We traveled throughout the country, including Khartoum in the
north and
places like Wau, the second largest city in the south. While we saw
extreme
poverty, and the effects of famine and civil war, we concluded that
there is
no slavery taking place there."
He exposed the PR exercise which the "slavery in Sudan" people
were
undertaking about "redemption of slaves" by Americans sneaking into
southern
Sudan and paying money to supposed "slave dealers" to free "slaves."
It is indeed a tribute to Br. Hodari Ali that he was way ahead of
the
American media in pointing out that the "slavery in Sudan" story was a
scam.
FINALLY ON FEBRUARY 26, 2002 THE WASHINGTON POST admitted in a
watered
down report what NEW TREND and FINAL CALL had reported a couple of
YEARS
earlier, that the "slavery" thing was a scam.
The Washington Post report has these headlines:
"Ripping off slave 'Redeemers': Rebels exploit westerners' efforts to
buy
emancipation for Sudanese." It continued the story with this headline:
"In
Sudan, Rebels are swindling 'redeemers."
Claims were made for the redemption of "60,000" slaves by a
missionary
group called "Christian Solidarity International" (CSI). {This is 4
times the
number compiled by the CSI's tribal allies on the ground.}
Huge sums of money were given to the rebels in this swindle. The
African
American community was duped by Christian groups who were either very
naive
or were linked to the Zionists. The Post notes that the National
Association
of Basketball Coaches collected $100,000 for the redemption of supposed
slaves.
How was the trickery carried out? In its watered down version,
the Post
states:
"But in some cases, according to witnesses and rebel officials, the
slaves
weren't slaves at all, but people gathered locally and instructed to
pretend
they were returning from bondage."

We honor men of truth like Br. Hodari Abdul-Ali for speaking the truth
when
most people were fooled.
Jamaat al-Muslimeen, led by Sis. Ashira Na'im, played an important role
in
challenging the "slavery in Sudan" story but we will relate that
separately.
----------------------------------------------------------------
THE HOSTILITY OF THE JEWS IN AMERICA to Islam and African-Americans is
important to note in reference to the "slavery in Sudan" story. The
Jewish
so-called Holocaust Museum took the stories of Muslim "atrocities" in
Sudan
as truth and actually ALLOCATED A SECTION of the Museum to the
atrocity/slavery stories. Such are the Jewish liars that they will
swallow
any lie as long as it will hurt Islam and Muslims.
{As we have pointed out before, inter-tribal warfare can lead to
captivity on
both sides. The Zionists construed this to mean "slavery" and built the
whole
case for sanctions against Sudan.}
