On Monday, September 6th at Wyndham Hotel, Mr. John Garang leader of SPLA commented on what is taking place in Darfur. A government counter-insurgency scheme gone wrong. According to his comments, the government in Khartoum decided some years ago to arm the so called janjaweed to fight on thier behalf the increasing threat posed by the Darfurians who decided that the use of force was the only way to resolve the economical, social, political injustices committeed by the ruling regime in Khartoum. The Janjaweed, on the other hand were quite content to take up this offer, although thier cause for fighting was for totally different reasons from those of Khartoum's. The historical scirmishes between the different tribes on water resources, agricultural land, cattle pathways, were common, and usually resolved through local tribe leaders and mediators. The problem arose when the conflict took on a more ethnical face, and large guns and artillery were on the side of the janjaweed provided by the government, who, we all assume have more sinister hidden agenda having to do with long term goals, and yes, with OIL.. Nowadays, all seem to have stakes in this conflict. The formal stakes of the United States, reflected by the State Department is the humane aspect, the human suffering, the killings, the rape, the dispalcement of whole populations from the region. But take a deeper look and you'll find OIL lobbiests who would perfer that the Sudanese government succeed in driving these populations away from the oil fields for the Americans to show up and explore and pump oil form a relatively uninhabited and vast geographical area. The American conservative Christians look at this conflict as a chance to convert most of the Muslim population to Christianity. There are some reports of large containers containing bibles arriving with food relief shipments from the United States (the same is happening in Iraq by the way). The Chinese, on the other hand, being the country with the largest oil concessions in Sudan, do not care what happens to the Darfurians, as long as Khartoum will award them more concessions in the area, they will keep a low profile and show up at the right time to claim the prize from the corrupt Sudanes officials. Meanwhile, Sudanese are dying daily from diseases, from thirst and hunger, are being driven from thier ancestoral lands, raped, killed and butchered, while we await a miracle to resolve this catastrophe.
