WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

S.Africa"s "deafening silence" on Sudan under fire
|
[Hmmm… another case of Mbeki’s selective morality – or so-called “silent diplomacy”. If his buddies are busy killing people – its just fine and dandy. Jan] The South African government must follow the example of other countries and consider targeted sanctions against the Sudanese government, Democratic Alliance spokesperson Joe Seremane said on Tuesday. In view of the United States House of Representatives decision to pass a resolution declaring the atrocities being committed in the Darfur region of Sudan as genocide, South Africa should follow suit, he said in a statement. This would send the strongest possible message that South Africa would no longer tolerate the violence being perpetrated by government-backed militias in western Sudan. South Africa’s “deafening silence” on the horrendous events unfolding in Darfur constituted a major foreign policy failure by President Thabo Mbeki’s government, he claimed. “In international relations the government must realise that silence is very often tantamount to tacit approval or endorsement. “In this regard South Africa’s record is damning as it has remained largely silent about and at times complicit in the events unfolding in Darfur,” Seremane said. South Africa should take the lead on the African continent and condemn in the strongest possible terms what had now been classified as genocide. “South Africa must vigorously lobby the African Union (AU) and the United Nations for a greater deployment of troops. Currently there are 270 AU troops without a clear mandate, expected to cover an area the size of France. “It is absolutely critical that there is a united international response to the crisis, as only a major international intervention can ensure that the conflict is ended,” he said. The South African government should follow the European Union’s example and consider the use of targeted sanctions against the government of Sudan. These could include diplomatic and military sanctions. “In so doing the message will be unequivocally sent to Khartoum that the continent will no longer tolerate its relentless onslaught against civilians in Darfur,” Seremane said. – Sapa This article was originally published on July 27, 2004 Source: Independent Online (IOL) |
