Darfur has been plagued by an intense six-year-long ethnic conflict that has left hundreds of thousands dead and displaced two million from their homes, but does the West really know what's going on in Darfur?
There must be a lot of oil in Darfur to keep this conflict going on. What is the true motives behind what is going on there? Can we expect the main stream news media to report the truth about Darfur. Are there hidden political agendas. The world needs independent news media, that are not owned by billionaires, to report the straight/honest news around the world. Since this is not possible, we will continue to get news flavoured to the taste of the special interest billionaires who own and control the world.
Every time I think I've seen a new level of outrageous hypocracy that can't be surpassed...it is....and usually in the UK. What was this guy screaming during the NATO war on Yugoslavia? Was it something like this? “I’ve seen no evidence of state-sponsored genocide… There’s this struggle between tribes, and sometimes it’s African tribes fighting Africans, sometimes Arabs fighting Arabs, and sometimes Arabs fighting Africans. So it’s a very complicated situation in Darfur,” insists first British Muslim Peer Lord Nazir Ahmed." Of course not!!! You can be sure he was screaming murder about state-sponsored genocide. The reporter of record should do a little ground work on this phoney's history before she gives him any air time. Who knows? She might find something really important to report on this Lord Ahmed.
