Who’s Who in the Middle East: War and Humanitarian Disaster in Sudan
For the people of Sudan, nowhere is currently safe. Since the spring of 2023, the country has been consumed by a devastating civil war that has claimed thousands of lives, displaced millions, and created one of the world’s worst humanitarian disasters.
The popular uprising that ended the rule of Omar Bashir in 2019 led to military rule that was unsuccessful in transitioning to a civilian government. The long-standing tensions between the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and their regional and international allies erupted in civilian war between two armies, a war that has been almost completely absent in Western media.

    COVID-19 has become a cross, every case now a cross for the state at the tail end of this ‘virus’ war the swollen earth will tell all those we lost when it was raging hot They first came down with a cough and their days and nights so rough when the fever came, it was tough on the lungs before the body fell apart, waiting the final test. When it arrived, the brain was on its lock down but sweat like rocks started to cascade raiding the palate of needed appetite bringing images of shallow graves and grave diggers whose labor makes them neighbors of "gone too soon" and "till we meet again" COVID-19 blew sand grains into global game plans now we have a pandemic that is not a flash in the pan (Kole's Diary, May 2, 2020)

    Kan dere legge ut en lenke til hvor man melder tilbake om problemstilling? Her er 5 uavhengige og troverdige personer som representerer, Legeforeningen, FHI, Barneombudet, NATO og Helsesøsteren. Alle tror tiltakene får uante alvorlige konsekvenser. Det er jo ikke de faglige rådene dom i størst grad kompromitterer barnas rettigheter, men politiske og byråkratiske beslutninger og tiltak utover det faglige. Er ikke det høyst kritikkverdig? www.nettavisen.no/nyheter/legeforeningen-advarer-korona-tiltakene-gir-strre-helsetap-for-befolkningen-enn-selve-viruset/3423949852.html www.dagbladet.no/nyheter/sa-ifra-i-lukket-erna-mote/72358762 www.vg.no/nyheter/utenriks/i/Vb8My6/stoltenberg-om-corona-nato-bidrar-til-aa-redde-liv www.vg.no/nyheter/innenriks/i/kJrP89/barneombudet-til-coronabekymrede-foreldre-la-dere-styre-av-fakta-ikke-frykt www.nettavisen.no/livsstil/helsesista--har-aldri-fatt-sa-mange-sporsmal-fra-ungdom-som-trenger-trost/3423956033.html

    For noen dåsemikler helt i tåkeheimen. USA som sådan trenger selvsagt ikke oljen, det er “Corporate America” som ønsker å utvinne og selge den, akkurat slik John Bolton har bekreftet at Amerikanske selskaper står klare til å gjøre. Store verdier som vil bli pumpet rett inn i den Amerikanske økonomien til enorme overskudd for selskaper og i lommene til de allerede svært rike, som igjen gir store donasjoner til “alle” politiske kandidater i Amerika. Nancy Pelosi er f.eks. god for 100 millioner dollar, og hver eneste million har hun tjent som politiker. Og dere snakker om korrupsjon i Venezuela?? Dette fra tidligere fungerende FBI-sjef Andrew McCabe i samtale med Donald Trump: "Then the president talked about Venezuela. That’s the country we should be going to war with, he said. They have all that oil and they’re right on our back door." Dette fra tidligere guvernør og presidentkandidat for de grønne, Jill Stein: "Isn't it weird that Trump hasn't done a thing to help 40M Americans in poverty, 29M without health insurance, 500K living on the streets, or entire cities without clean water... but suddenly he cares so much about humanitarian aid to Venezuela that he's willing to start a war?" Og hvem er så Juan Guaidó? Jo, Juan Guaidó representerer et knøttlite, voldelig og ekstremt høyreparti, med utspring og support fra den hvite overklassen og de gamle makthaverne, ala Pinochet. Ikke rart USA elsker mannen, som for øvrig er opplært og trent av CIA. Dette “udyret” er altså personen, og partiet har representerer, Vesten ønsker seg? Fytti katta. Nicolás Maduro og Chavismen er slettes ikke feilfrie, det er tross alt Sør-Amerika vi snakker om, men et langt bedre alternativ og utgangspunkt til målet om et fungerende land og demokrati. Chavismen er den bevegelsen med soleklart størst oppslutning i landet. Apropos valg. Guvernørvalget i 2017, som alle 70 internasjonale valgobservatører fra Europa, USA og Latin-Amerika anerkjente til applaus, vant Chavismen 18 av 23 delstater. Det forteller litt om det faktiske styrkeforholdet i landet, og Chavismens rettmessige plass ved roret - enn så lenge.
