Arab Genocide, Arab Silence
(Washington Post) Joseph Britt - What responsibility do Arabs have to stop genocide being committed by Arabs? Genocide in the Darfur region of western Sudan, inflicted on mostly Muslim African tribespeople by the nomadic Arab militias called janjaweed with the enthusiastic assistance of the Arab-dominated Sudanese government, has been going on for over two years now. Egypt, with a huge army, a modern air force, and more contacts within Sudan than every Western country combined, has looked on while as many as 400,000 people have been slaughtered just beyond its southern border. Canada, by itself, has pledged more aid than all the Arab countries combined.
