In an other part of the world

I keep hearing about Darfur all the time in the news, but without really paying much of attention until, by coincidence I got to watch for ten seconds the interview in Arabeyah tv with the Sudanese president Omar Al- Bashir and the thing that triggered my attention was this:

O, American’s care so much about the Darfur conflict because it has uranium!!!!

La walla??
So I did some googlling and couldn’t find any thing about uranium, I highly doubt there is uranium!! It’s the typical Arabs mentality consumed of “Conspiracy Theories”
Thought I’d share what I found with you

Darfur Conflict

More than 2m people are living in camps after fleeing more than four years of fighting in the region and they are vulnerable without peacekeepers.
Sudan's government and the pro-government Arab militias are accused of war crimes against the region's black African population, although the UN has stopped short of calling it genocide.
New peace talks are planned, but peace still looks a long way off.

How did the conflict start?

The conflict began in the arid and impoverished region early in 2003 after a rebel group began attacking government targets, saying the region was being neglected by Khartoum.
The rebels say the government is oppressing black Africans in favour of Arabs.
Darfur, which means land of the Fur, has faced many years of tension over land and grazing rights between the mostly nomadic Arabs, and farmers from the Fur, Massaleet and Zagawa communities.
There are two main rebel groups, the Sudan Liberation Army (SLA) and the Justice and Equality Movement (Jem), although both groups have split, some along ethnic lines.
Almost a dozen rebel groups now exist. Most will attend the talks in Libya, but one key leader, Abdul Wahid el-Nur, is boycotting the talks until the conflict ends.

What is the government doing?

It admits mobilising "self-defence militias" following rebel attacks but denies any links to the Janjaweed, accused of trying to "cleanse" black Africans from large swathes of territory.
Refugees from Darfur say that following air raids by government aircraft, the Janjaweed ride into villages on horses and camels, slaughtering men, raping women and stealing whatever they can find.

Many women report being abducted by the Janjaweed and held as sex slaves for more than a week before being released.
The US and some human rights groups say that genocide is taking place - though a UN investigation team sent to Sudan said that while war crimes had been committed, there had been no intent to commit genocide.
Sudan's government denies being in control of the Janjaweed and President Omar al-Bashir has called them "thieves and gangsters".
After strong international pressure and the threat of sanctions, the government promised to disarm the Janjaweed. But so far there is little evidence this has happened.
Trials have been announced in Khartoum of some members of the security forces suspected of abuses - but this is viewed as part of a campaign against UN-backed attempts to get some 50 key suspects tried at the International Criminal Court in The Hague.

Interruption:

يعلن الديوان الملكى انه منذ يوم امس خر جسدنا صريعا اثر مواجهه معا الانفلونزا التي اكتسحتنا بشكل كامل,
لقد ربحت المعركه و ليس الحرب و لنا لقاء قادم باذن الله سيتكلل بالنصر انشاء الله
حتى اشعار اخر
انتهى!

Cheers,
