Sudan solution?

dude is completely, utterly, depressingly OTM. The West, hell, what do we want? A bit of oil, perhaps, protection for our people, economic gain, yeah, possibly brought about through corrupt and reprehensible means, but we're not actively setting up camps to indiscriminately destroy those who don't follow our ways. I mean, the article may be painting a doomier, more pessimistic picture than it could, and I am willing to bet that with a few key figures removed the fundamentalist Islamic movement would suffer major body-blows, but in principle it is spot-on.

lol ken c. I thought about the other thread as soon as I saw this one !

ethan, i then realised i'd been had and refuted that about 2 minutes later, and then continued to refute it. you're painting me in colours no way reflective of my attitude towards, well, anything.

i.e. I'M ON YOUR SIDE. i merely have a habit of saying things about international politics that are ill-informed. among students or other less scrupulous judges i get away with it. among people who know what they're talking about i get rightly taken to task. i mean i ADMITTED i was wrong! isn't that enough for you?

lol who are you talking to?????????

what ever happened to humansuit?

Sorry Sudanese people

Those waters had upended her life, but also provided a food option — not a desirable one, but one of the few left.
Water lilies. They’d been keeping her family alive for two years.

They were bitter. Hard to digest. They required hours of manual labor — cutting, pounding, drying, sifting — just to be made edible. Nyaguey could still remember her initial shock at eating them, figuring they’d be a short-term measure. And now, with the floodwaters holding their ground, she could trace a two-year arc of distress in what the lilies had become: sustenance so vital that people were slogging farther and farther into the waters to find them, before someone else did

Heartbreaking

the number of displaced people there, and the number of refugees, are just devastating, overwhelming even. it's just a terrible situation. and of course the Wagner Group made sure to be involved.

Very sad
