June 5, 2007 — The Sudanese Ambassador to the U.S., John Lueth Ukec, drew a lot of heat last week in his prematurely arranged press conference at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. as he tried in vain to defend the position of the genocidal regime in Khartoum. (For reference see, Washington Postenying Genocide in Darfur — and Americans Their Coca-Cola" by Dana Milbank www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/05/3...007053002157_pf.html)
Perhaps the Ambassador is right by blaming the Americans as he said, "you are failing me in particular. The people of Sudan sent me here because they know I have good relationship with you guys. . . . And I come and I’ve been slammed with the sanctions." Less than three years ago, the Ambassador was rallying the American people to stop what he called genocide in Darfur. On Iowa State Daily, a student newspaper, the Ambassador wrote an article title, "Genocide in Sudan, From One Who’s Been There." (The article in its entirity is printed below).
Reading through his article, it raises some important questions, not least among the questions: whether the Ambassador is really himself or he is just one of those political opportunists who shift with the blow of the wind.
Anyway, it is difficult to argue that the situation in Darfur improve from less than three years ago as the Ambassador may argue in defence of his changed of opinion. If anything, the situation actually worsen. Actually, more people have been displaced and scores are massacred since 2004. The Khartoum government managed successfully to frustrate the International Community at every effort including humanitarian effort. Worse, since then, Mini Manawi, formerly, a leader of major Darfur rebel group joined Khartoum in massacring spree of the Darfurians. And another development is that since then, John Lueth Ukec became the Ambassador of Khartoum in the U.S., therefore, switching his opinion as a result. The Ambassador may switch opinions or allegiance, but the facts hardly change.
A minister from Khartoum once escorted U.S. Congressional delegates in a ruined and deserted village in Darfur, and upon witnessing the devastation inflicted on that village, the minister asked, his visitors, the Americans "do you see? Where is the evidence of desvastation?" The American delegation were outraged but can do nothing. The fact is, the people who are running the government in Khartoum careless about evidence or facts, but before they notice it, the evidences and facts will catch up with them.
Below is Sudanese Ambassador, John Lueth Ukec’s article written less than three years ago claiming that he is a firsthand witness of genocide in Darfur. Perhaps the Darfur Coalition should enlist him on their witness list before the International Criminal Court at the Hague grab him as a witness. |
