The UN Must Prevail

Chinese weapons have been showing up in Sudan.
Both sides in the conflict avoid combat but continue to attack unarmed villages – raping, pillaging and running the inhabitants off.
Chinese oil prospectors have appeared all over the country – sometimes shortly after a village is destroyed.
The French and American governments through OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development) recommended a high speed rail line to be extended from British Commonwealth member Kenya into southern Sudan near Juba.
A German investment company is teaming up with the Sudanese Liberation Army and the Sudanese Government (the ones that are fighting) to provide investment in the project.
The World Bank, International Monetary Fund and USAID are both heavily invested in the country and would like to get some of their money back – with interest.
The only thing holding them all back have a few million people that happened to be living on the land already.
A few years later by using guns, greed and dishonesty the industrial nations have a new source of oil and mineral wealth, a rail road line and low overhead.
The people of southern Sudan –who eat and love, get annoyed, get up every day to go to work, suffer, enjoy and have joy, laugh and cry and live and die – are being subjected in the 21st Century to the same inhuman treatment forced on the Native Americans during the conquest of North and South America.
This must be ripped up.
These are the reasons that the UN must prevail.
