 Re: Stop the War Against Sudan : By David Rolde (Re: Frankly)

In October 2002, now during the George W Bush administration, the US government passed the so-called “Sudan Peace Act” which allocated $100 million dollars per year for 2003, 2004 and 2005 “for assistance to areas outside government control “, i.e., to the SPLA. Furthermore it required “the U.S. president” to make a determination once every six months about whether the Sudanese government is “negotiating in good faith” with the SPLA or not. If the U.S. president determines that the Sudanese government is not acting in good faith then the president is required to “seek a UN Security Council resolution for an arms embargo on the Sudanese government; instruct U.S. executive directors to vote against and actively oppose loans, credits, and guarantees by international financial institutions; take all necessary and appropriate steps to deny Sudan government access to oil; and consider downgrading or suspending diplomatic relations.” The act did say that these consequences would not be implemented against Sudan if the SPLA were also not “negotiating in good faith”. But these determinations would be left to the sole discretion of George W. Bush.
Seeing the USA supporting the SPLA, and all these U.S. declarations, sanctions, threats, and even direct military “surgical strike” against Sudan, and knowing what happens to other countries that don’t do what they are told (for example Yugoslavia, the last country in Europe to hold out against implementing IMF-ordered reforms, was bombed and invaded by NATO under a false humanitarian pretext. Other countries have been invaded by the USA using false security pretexts or pretexts related to the “war on drugs”.), the Sudanese government began trying to accommodate US wishes in an effort to avert the full wrath of US military might from being unleashed against the Sudanese people (or if you are more cynical about the motives of the leaders of the Sudanese government then you can think of this as their effort to avoid being forcibly removed from power by the US government). In 1996 the Sudanese government kicked Osama bin Laden out of the country. In 1997 they started to implement “IMF [International Monetary Fund] macroeconomic reforms”, i.e., reforms that benefit international corporations at the expense of the Sudanese people, reforms that the IMF requires debtor nations to implement under the false pretext that international investment will help the people through some sort of Reaganomics-like trickle down mechanism. The Sudanese government accepted the U.S. government’s premise of the need for a “war on terror” and agreed to cooperate in this war. The only thing the Sudanese government didn’t do was agree to support the Israeli Apartheid state in Palestine.
