Over 2 Million Black Christians were killed in the 90’s. No one cared or did anything, yet the South Sudanese fought on and got their independence. After recent border clashes where the South Sudanese got the upper hand, Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir has declared Jihad against the south. He now says he will liberate the south. In Islamic speech, this means conquer.
Sudan President Omar al-Bashir has said his main goal is now to “liberate” the people of South Sudan from its rulers following recent border clashes.
The former rebel Sudan People’s Liberation Movement (SPLM) has ruled South Sudan since it seceded from Sudan in July 2011.
President Bashir described the SPLM as “insects” that needed to be eliminated.
Fighting between the two countries has now spread to another area, further adding to fears of all-out war.
South Sudan seized the Heglig oil field – generally recognised as Sudanese territory – eight days ago. On Tuesday fighting broke out north of Aweil in South Sudan, about 100 miles (160km) west of Heglig.
I pray for South Sudan since they have no allies. Hopefully Ethiopia intervenes if this hits the fan.
