The Darfur fighting has come to town . . . I was following closely the developments of the fighting between Minawi's forces and the police. It is a clear indication of the tension between the former rebels and the government, the severity of the degree of mistrust.
No matter who was responsible, the police should have known better instead of being trigger happy. The Khartoum police are notorious for fuelling these kinds of tensions. There have been several such attacks between former SPLA forces in Khartoum and the police over the flimsiest of issues. They lack the power to diffuse tensions. Whether intensionally or not, it does not add to trust.
Meanwhile, Khartoumers have to brace themselves for more of the same . . .

That is a true tragedy indeed. The way the Sudanese police behave does not reflect well on their intension for peace. Maybe, when the streets of Khartoum turn into another Bagdad, they will wake up. God forbid!
There is no genocide in Darfur
As long as there is an authoritarian government to keep the peace I doubt it will blow up like Baghdad.
That is the irony of it all Aaron: Sudan needs a strong authoritarian government to keep it together, but at the expense of the people. If it breaks down, the alternative is too bad to imagine. But what is the way out of the misery do you think?
I am looking for a phone that I download applications for like the Iphone (needs to be at&t). Can anybody recommend some phones that have this functionality, and do you have to pay for the applications. Thanks.
