STORIES ARE IMPORTANT AND YOU WON'T READ THIS STORY IN ANY NEWSPAPER TOMORROW MORNING
GENOCIDE ISN'T A SUBJECT
THAT PERPETRATORS
WANT US TO BE CURIOUS ABOUT
AND THEY HAVE PRETTY MUCH HAD THEIR WAY
AND OUR COMPLICITY IS NECESSARY
AND OUR SILENCE IS NECESSARY
AND OUR NOT HOLDING PERPETRATORS ACCOUNTABLE IS NECESSARY
TO HAVE AN ON-GOING GENOCIDE FOR OVER FIVE YEARS
AND THAT IS WHAT HAS BEEN GOING ON IN SUDAN
I am just a person who believes like most informed people of this planet that there is a genocide that has been going on for too long upon our brothers and sisters of Darfur, Sudan. The U.S. government has called it genocide since 2004. I most recently wrote about it at this post And We've Known It Is Genocide and Yet.
I am an ordinary person who has taken this human rights cause on since 2004. I give speeches about this issue in my state, have lobbied my U.S. Senators and Representatives and President Bush repeatedly about it, attended and volunteered at national rallies in Washington, D.C. and Central Park in New York City, organized a Rhode Island Dream For Darfur Torch Relay and Ceremony in conjunction with the International effort of Torch Relays in countries that have had and are having genocides reign over their people, as well as other countries around the world, written many letters to the editors published in my local newspaper in Rhode Island, The Newport Daily News, blogged about this on-going crime, been an active member of
www.genocideintervention.net
attended the 2007 national STAND conference of
www.standnow.org
I was asked to work as a Darfuri in Radio Afia Darfur
in September 2008.
Radio Afia Darfur is operated from MBN (Middle East
Broadcast Network) facility in Virginia. The Radio
program is funded by a grant from the U.S. State
Department to the BBG (Broadcasting Board of
Government - U.S. Congress).
I moved from California to Virginia while leaving my
family and shutting down my business.
At work, I found out that the 2 editors, who are in the
Darfur department are from the Nile North of Sudan:
1-Elzubair O. Altyeb (same tribe as Al-Bashir).
2- Zahrat Abuzeid (from the far Nile North).
Their region is very important when it comes to
Darfur.
From day one and on following days and months
they made it clear to us that:
1- Darfur is humanitarian problem, not genocide
and no ethnic targeting.
2- IDP (internal displaced people) and the refugees
when contacted should talk about peace and need
for clothes, water, etc.. but not to voice their opinion
about Sudan Governments actions ( this one and
before). This is for them is propaganda.
3- Ocampo and International Criminal Court are
out to destroy Sudan (which means to them
Khartoum and North Sudan).
4- Save Darfur and other advcocacy organizations
are seen as Jewish and Zionist organizations with
Agendas in Sudan.
5- Reports and news should be dumbed down
(focus on programs like culture and heritage).
6-We Darfurians are compelled to read news
and reports in high level Arabic language.
Arabic language in Sudan is symbol of the
dominant culture.
We Darfurians, the three of us, were vocally critical
of the blatant distortion. We were threatened that
they can replace us with any Darfurians and there
are tens of them lined for our jobs, then we were
marginalized. Elzubair and Zaharat started to do
almost everything and ignoring us. They work late
and six to seven days per week just to render us
useless.
They decided to make an example of their control.
On Tuesday December 16th ~ I was called to the
new manager's office (William Sabatini- started
December 1st) and there was Alzubair and
Zaharat with the personnel manager and I was
told that my employment is terminated effective
immediately. I asked the reasons and he said
this is the end of probation period and he
retrieved recommendations (meaning Elzubair
and Zahrat) to do that.
I said to him:
Firstly I need the reasons in writing in a letter.
Secondly, this termination is unfair and unjust and
has nothing to do with the work here and has
everything to do with what is going on in Darfur
and Sudan.
I pointed to Zahart and AlZubair and
said: These are from the North, they are protecting
the status quo.
I asked Zaharat: how many people of your
relative lost their lives in Darfur Genocide?
She could not reply.
I said I know by name 31 of my relatives
perished in this Genocide. The manager's
demeanor changed and said: I apologize
to hear about your loss there.
I said Genocide still is going on. Alzubair
laughed. I said to the manager: you see -
he is laughing! That is how insensitive
they are to what is going in Darfur.
Again I asked about the written letter of
termination. Already Alzubair and Zaharat
had interviewed Darfuris from tribes not
targeted by the government and
Janjaweed. Those who can be as tokens
to them.
I will never sell out those who are toiling
in the camps in Darfur and eastern Chad.
NEVER.
End of Mohamed's email.
If you would like to get more information about Mohamed, please let me know.
This should not be happening here in the USA.
