Sylvia, yes indeed. I think Obama lives in the abstract. Personal pain, other than his, mean nothing. Christianity surely mean nothing. He envisions Islam as an abstract thought that intrigues him because he associates it with being non-American and non-white. He is shallow and somewhat uneducated. He also may have a very average IQ.

I never liked him, but this just makes me HATE him. What the heck is he doing teaming up with someone so……(whats the word???) violent, terrible, cruel??? And all the words that describe who he is. This is not only a betrayal for me but I believe the country. If anyone else agrees with Obama, listen to what Omar is doing. Omar is racist and VERY VERY E.V.I.L. Just the pictures of what is happening in Sudan discusts me. This is Terrible! If Obama’s big speech on how he’s going to make this world a “better” place then I think he shouldn’t have agreed with Omar AT ALL.
Also i know it may see a LONG way away, but if we will have World Peace, then the violence needs to stop, and Obama isn’t helping.

I pray for all those people living in Sudan who are at risk or have been exposed to what has been described in this article. I pray for the children so that they will not become victims. I pray for all the families (moms, dads, children, aunts, uncles, ect.) I pray that people who aren’t effected yet, stay not effected. I PRAY FOR EVERYONE IN SUDAN (yes also the bad people, so that they see what they are doing and stop)

Haven’t you ever heard of “breaking bread with the enemy”? I do believe that by saying that “We must engage with those with whom we disagree” he means to say that in we need to use honey to catch our flies. I think that by fighting directly with al-Bashir and his armies would only cause more trauma, terror and oppression in Sudan. By working with him, instead of against him, we may be able to come to a quicker and smoother conclusion of peace. I don’t mean to sound naive and say that it doesn’t look absolutely terrible to think of someone (especially in this case this someone being our president) negociated with such atrocious terrorists, but I believe his intentions are infact heart felt in the sense that, yes, we must do something to help, but let’s increase the peace and do this tactfully.

What I haven’t seen is any particular action since this (and other similar) articles. Does anyone have any information on current happings? I am working on a painting with a social conflict subject matter–as this has been an issue I have been extremely concerned about for several years I chose to illustrate both the monstrocities of the genocide and war as well as the beautiful Sudanese culture into one painting for my project. I would like to be as well informed as possible and I would appreciate any imput!

Wrong. And how about those Christians and animists? Ok to rape and kill right? Muslim apologies or justifications really do not go far in the real world. Hateful cultists. Living in the 700s and believe it fine.

This article is ridiculous; I hope that this is a private website and that the writer was not hired. The war did not start because Western Sudanese are of African decent–most of the people in the capital are of African decent–It started because the CPA agreement, signed in 2005, between the South and North, formed a national unity government that did not involve any of the other parts of the country. Also, coincidently, they had recently discovered a ‘lake’ of oil underneath Darfur: the largest oil deposit in Africa.

It is not ethnic tension it is a battle over resources. And of course they have weapons, otherwise there would not be a war. Also, “mad Muslims”? Are you 5?
