What was accepted for Darfur applies to Ogaden. The world hailed the UN Security Council resolution that was adopted the day before yesterday to create a 26,000-strong “hybrid” UN-African Union peacekeeping force. The force will primarily consist of African troops that will be empowered to “take the necessary action” to prevent attacks against and protect the civilian populations in the vast desert region that has been ravaged by violence since 2003.

However, we are now in the second half of 2007. Four years delay has a cost; no less than 250000 innocent victims of criminal tyrant Al Bashir’s Janjaweed Pan-Arabist gangsters have died because they were not included in the extremist arabizing agenda of the Khartoum loathsome dictator. The decision – despite the awfully inhuman delay – illustrates a great Victory of the Forces of Humanism and Justice, and consists in a terrible blow against the Arab League, and its barbaric leaders who tyrannically impose Pan-Arabist policies on a great variety and number of African populations that have nothing to do with Arabs.

Considering China’s immoral and shameful opposition to this subject, due exclusively to the fact that the Eastern Asiatic giant buys two thirds of Sudan’s Oil, the UN Security Council decision takes a panegyric appeal. After many months of negotiations, whereby the diplomatic weapon of boycotting Beijing 2008 Olympic Games was remarkably used, the UN decision opens the way for the creation of a 26,000-strong “hybrid” UN-African Union peacekeeping force.

The resolution determines the setup of a military force of 19,555 troops plus 6,432 civilian police tasked to take over from the overstretched 7,000-strong African Union peacekeeping operation in Darfur by the end of the year.

The Darfur crisis deterioration at the level of international relations played a particularly important role in the augur decision making; behind the lines of the UN resolution we do not see the Furi African populations (Darfurian is a wrong term used by ignorant people only) and their Drama, but we certainly distinguish the fear of an escalation and eventually a war between Chad, Central African Republic and Sudan. As a matter of fact, the innocent and mercilessly slaughtered Furis started reacting, formed several groups for self-defense, and political self-determination, and crossing the borders of Chad and Central African Republic to avoid detrimental exposure to the criminal, cannibalistic Janjaweed, caused further involvement among other populations, namely the inhabitants of the bordering regions of the aforementioned two African countries.

Sudan’s approval is not an issue anymore; displaying a greater interest and a clearer commitment than his predecessor, the new British premier threatened to seek further sanctions if Sudan failed to co-operate. “This is the world coming together to say that we have a plan now, that we expect the authorities in Sudan to act. We will not tolerate further inaction, and the violence has got to stop now,” he said. He went on: “The plan for Darfur is to achieve a ceasefire, including an end to aerial bombings of civilians; drive forward peace talks starting in Arusha, Tanzania, this weekend on August 3; and as peace is established to offer to and begin to invest in recovery and
