Dear Bakri,
I recently read a book with the title that bears the words "Economic Hitmen." The book deals with the exact issue that the writer of the article alludes to. It deals with how the powers that be, including arm dealers, oilmen, politicians, intelligence agencies, and corporate entities of different grains, team up to form a cartel that lethally attacks any emerging power that threatens it. The writer himself was part of such a cartel, knowingly at times, and unknowingly at other. He was brutally honest when he described his own, indirect, role in impoverishing millions upon millions of people and the annihilation of many more millions. He showed how cooking the books of economic policy and fake intellectualism can lead to utter destruction.
He further gave very pertinent examples of leaders killed by mysterious plain accidents. Omer Trudu, slain president of Panama, for instance, was killed in a mysterious plane crash, just like the one in which our beloved martyr Dr. Garang was killed. He went on to give several examples of plane crashes that mimicked that one, and the ones it mimicked. This makes the killing of Dr. Garang fall into this pattern of mysterious crashes, if current or future investigations prove that it was, indeed, an assassination that looked like an accident.
In my judgment, it is not unlikely that a cartel of the sort mentioned in the article is responsible for the killing of our slain leader. I think it is reasonable to assume that some pockets in the Sudan intelligence agencies may have been involved. When you think about it, oil, arms dealing, corporate interests, the potential for building new armies and new economic bases in a divided Sudan, all make a very good recipe for conspiracy.
It no secret that Dr. Ganang's project runs against the grain of the corporate world and arms dealing, which made him, in my mind, a good target for a consortium in which Sudanese intelligence men were possibly involved. Some of these men visited Langley, VA, where the CIA is located to discuss some serious issues (multiple times and were lavishly pampered by U.S. intelligence agencies). It begs the question as to what these people were doing in Washington and Langley. What were they discussing and planning for? And whey did those meetings, roughly, coincided with the approach of the conclusion of the Sudanese peace talks?
These are all questions that should be the main focus of any possible future investigations into the killing of our beloved leader Garang.
Please visit me in the related thread below, for it deals with issues that are very pressing toddy (and that are important for celebrating the legacy and life of Dr. Garang)
