Is iran Involved With Sudanese Government?

September 09, 2008

     Africa Confidential, the new source has accused Iran of deploying military assistance to Sudan, finding them in violation of the United Nation arms embargo. Pieces of an unmanned drone which was shot down by rebels on August 28th, 2008 in the western Darfur region reveals that it was being controlled by Iranian technicians. Damanga is concerned about Iran's involvement with Sudan in this matter because it can only be bad news for Darfur, who has suffered long enough. Since the beginning of this conflict, which started long before 2003, more than 450,00 lives has been lost, and amlost 3.5 million people have been turned into refugees and the person responsible for these crimes against humanity is Omar al-Bashir, and his government of National Congress Party (NCP). He has been using government troops and armed men known as Jaanjaweed to massacre the innocent civilians of Darfur for a very long time. This must stop now. Damanga strongly urges the United Nations to look into this matter and to take action against Iran if such accusations are true.
