a conspiracy thing I’ve come up with all alone and which I’ve mentioned before, but more news today. To recap for those that have not followed, I’ll give a quick summary of my views. Sudan, Worlds 2nd largest oil reserves, biggest supplier of oil to China, you have China providing the expertise to Sudan and billions of dollars for the oil, in the process bringing mostly to an end a long running civil war, apart from one or two factions. Right so we have sort of two states in one, North and South, sharing massive ammounts of wealth and totally relient on China to keep the balance of power between them. Now we have to it’s west the country of Chad, not a wealthy country, but mineral wealth, untapped a lot of it. Now we have China looking at this and thinking that they’d like a slice and it would fit right in with the Chinese strategy of buying up Africa. But what does Chad do? it says ‘ok, you can have a deal, but you can shove exclusive rights to stuff up your arse, we aren’t signing away our resources for a quick payment up front’ Now China goes ‘you cheeky fuckers, do you know who you’re talking to? we own a fuckin big army on your doorstep in Sudan’ So then we have, Sudanese millitias invading Chad. ‘Oh bum!’ says Chad, ‘what shall we do? I know, lets get give more arms to the rebels in Dafur who we’ve already armed in the past’ Now Chad knows it can’t do this alone, so they go to Mr Bush ‘hello, China is arming Sudan to the teeth, do you really want this lot exapanding thier power, we can already see the chaos in Somalia a bit to the south and with Eritria always on the road to collapse, do you really want your friends in Ethiopia surrounded and cut off by a load of people that make the Taliban look like the Salvation Army?’ ‘Oh Bum!’ says Mr Bush, ‘But our millitary is over stretched, we even had to beg Ethopia and the African Union for help, we’ve got no troops left’ Then Mr Bush thinks and says ‘Hang on, my new best mate the French President might help, I’ll phone him up’ ‘Sarkozy me old mate, would you like to come visit my ranch, it’s great, we can dress as cowboys, you can have Tony Blair’s old room’ So Sarkozy visits America, never thing we know, French ‘peace keeping troops’ arrive in Chad, now we see this stuff today.
Both Chad and Jem rebels deny working together to launch the assault on the Khartoum suburb of Omdurman, which the rebels say they have taken control of. The government said the rebel advance, the closest they have come to Khartoum, had been defeated. An overnight curfew imposed on Khartoum has been lifted, but not in Omdurman. Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir made the announcement that his country was breaking off diplomatic ties with Chad on state television. “These forces [behind the Omdurman attack] are all basically Chadian forces supported and prepared by Chad and they moved from Chad under the leadership of [rebel chief] Khalil Ibrahim,” President Bashir said in his televised statement. He added his country reserved the right to retaliate against Chad. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/7394422.stm Next article: Norma Desmond Watch, Day Two Previous article: Long Past Time For An Intervention |
