 Smileys in Sudan
 
 Speaking of bad situations, there's Sudan,
 where President Omar Hassan al-Bashir faces international war crimes
 charges for orchestrating a campaign of murder, torture and forced
 expulsions in Darfur. The State Department, not to mention
 some in the human rights community, have been much upset of late
 with special envoy J. Scott Gration's softer line in dealing
 with the ruling thugocracy, including the easing of sanctions.
 
 Gration, a retired Air Force major general, grew up in Africa
 and became very close to then-Sen.
 Barack Obama after he escorted
 the lawmaker on a two-week tour of Africa and then endorsed
 and campaigned for him 2008.
 
 In a recent interview, Gration explained the
 strategy to our colleague Stephanie McCrummen. "We've got
 to think about giving out cookies," said Gration,
 who was appointed to the job in March. "Kids, countries --
 they react to gold stars, smiley faces,
 handshakes, agreements, talk, engagement."
 
 On the day that quote appeared in The Post, we're told,
 someone asked Hillary Clinton at the department's morning
 senior staff meeting what State was
 going to do about Gration's comments.
 
 "That's not our problem," the secretary of state
 replied, "that's their
 problem," pointing toward the White House.

  |  Re: ده كلام شنو يا  Gration ؟؟  حلاوة وبسكويت لمنو (Re: النصرى أمين) |  | وهنا الحوار الصحفى الذى اجرته الصحيفة مع قريشن يوم 29 سبتمبر 2009
 EL FASHER, Sudan -- The volatility of this East
 African nation -- from the Darfur conflict to the
 threat of renewed civil war in the south
 -- is becoming a test of how President Obama will
 reconcile a policy of engagement with earlier
 statements blasting a government he said had
 "offended the standards of our common humanity."
 
 
 Top administration officials are scheduled to meet
 Tuesday to discuss a major review of the
 United States' Sudan policy. But even as that
 document is being finalized, U.S. diplomacy
 has remained mostly in the hands of Obama's
 special envoy to Sudan, retired Air Force Maj.
 Gen. J. Scott Gration, who is pushing toward
 normalized relations with the only country in
 the world led by a president indicted on war-crimes charges.
 
 Although Gration describes the approach as
 pragmatic and driven by a sense of urgency,
 his critics here and in the United States
 say it is dangerously, perhaps willfully,
 naive. During a recent five-day trip to
 Sudan, Gration heard from southern officials,
 displaced Darfurians, rebels and others who
 complained uniformly that he is being manipulated
 by government officials who talk peace even as they undermine it.
 
 Still, at the end of the visit, Gration maintained
 a strikingly different perspective. He had
 seen signs of goodwill from the government of
 President Omar Hassan al-Bashir, he said, and
 viewed many of the complaints as understandable
 yet knee-jerk reactions to
 a government he trusts is ready to change.
 
 "We've got to think about giving out
 cookies," said Gration, who was appointed
 in March. "Kids, countries -- they react to
 gold stars, smiley faces,
 handshakes, agreements, talk, engagement."
 
 Gration's approach has supporters, including Eltyeb
 Hag Ateya, a Sudanese professor and critic
 of Bashir's ruling party. He said Gration is
 "completely different" from previous envoys,
 who succeeded only in alienating
 the people who hold the levers of power in Sudan.
 
 Gration's detractors say his approach is
 based on a misunderstanding of how Bashir's
 ruling party works. John Prendergast, co-chairman
 of the Enough Project, a human rights group
 advocating tougher, multilateral sanctions
 against Sudan, said Bashir and his top advisers
 respond only to pressure. "They do not respond
 to nice guys coming over and saying, 'We have
 to be a good guest,' " he said. "They eat these
 
 Adam Mudawi, a Sudanese human rights activist who has
 seen envoys come and go, put it more bluntly: "In six
 months, he'll find out," he said. "They are liars."
 
 But in interviews during the trip, Gration said that
 Sudanese government officials have not lied to him.
 He spoke of new realities in Darfur, where a brutal
 government campaign has given way to banditry and
 fighting among rebel factions and tribes. Although
 many say the government has orchestrated the
 chaos, Gration spread the blame. Rebels have
 turned into criminal gangs and have not unified
 for peace talks, he said. And many displaced
 Darfurians are dealing with "psychological stuff"
 that is leading to unhelpful
 mistrust of the government, he said.
 
 Gration said that in his view, the ruling party
 deserves credit lately for allowing some foreign
 aid groups to return after Bashir expelled
 others following his March indictment by the
 International Criminal Court on charges
 of war crimes in Darfur. Gration said economic
 sanctions, first imposed in 1997, have thwarted
 development that would help marginalized parts of Sudan.
 
 And as distasteful as it may seem, he said, engaging
 the ruling party is the only way to get a
 settlement in Darfur and to avert a potentially
 devastating war ahead of the semiautonomous
 southern region's 2011 vote on independence.
 
 Ghazi Salahuddin, a close Bashir adviser,
 praised Gration for "trying to be evenhanded.
 " During a stop in El Fasher, capital of North
 Darfur state, Gration was greeted like a rock
 star by hundreds of cheering Bashir supporters
 in a conference hall plastered with posters of
 Bashir and Obama, poorly photo-shopped together.
