Sudan is a Piñata full of Oil

It has come to my notice the great resembalance between Sudan’s current condition and a pinata. The whole western world keeps bashing the Sudanese goverment and unwillingly torturing the Sudanese citizens with punishments assumed to be for the goverment. The point is the goverment don’st seem to feel the heat as much as we the citizens do, as far as they are concerned they still keep cashing in their checks and cash from peace treaty to peace treaty and endless made reasons for them to get their payment…

Recently France and Britain have threatened to impose more punishments upon Sudan( as if we lack any punishments) , the concept of these punishments is to force the people to move and do something about their own goverment, (see the irony in that!). So we keep hoping the solution for this goverment could come from the outside, but all the help they could provide us with is to notice that we are the solution.

The people of Sudan have proven to be the most vexatious population to control when unwilling to cooperate, for example lets look at what happened to General Gordon, Lord Kitchener, General Mohammed Gaafar Nimeiry and the list goes on… We have become concerned too much with insignificant issues that we forget to take a look at the big picture and the conditions we are living in.

We are so concerened with digging our enemy’s graves that we can’t even get out of it now, and after all this time we had been unwillingly digging our own graves. So people wake up and work together to get ourselves out of this hole.

A Nation under fire and water.

The silence before the storm.

The name is SudanEase, due to my numerous obligations this blog would be updated randomly from time to time. I will try my best to have a regular post per week but I can’t make any promises though.

Well, Sudan has been put in the spot light regarding the Darfur controversy since early 2004 when the issue was first put under the spot light. Since then the this nation has been set under international fire triggering a series of policitical and economical penalties against Sudan in attempt to pressure the Sudanese goverment into submitting to approve the intervention of UN forces. The Sudanese goverment’s struggle to forbid the UN forces from interferring with the proclaimed genocide has only placed Sudanese relations with most nations on thin ice, the most recent of which is the neighbouring Chad.

Moving to the present day, this August’s rain season in Sudan this year has turned out to be disasterous to the people of Sudan and the goverment who have droughted their own resources on several insignifcant issues such as the installment of a new currency. With limited resources and standing mostly alone to face this predicament the nation is failing to resist nature at its worst. The goverment helpless and under heavy criticism were forced to turn a blind eye. Up till now 67,731 houses were wrecked by the rains, of which 31,540 were damaged beyond repair.

People tend to underestimate such matters, let me remind you that the world’s wealthiest nation, USA, required international assistance to cope with the aftermath of hurricane Katrina. There is one question I would like to raise; how long will it take the world to realise how much the people in Sudan are suffering for being the VICTIMS!??
