Documentary on Darfur (Jihad on Horseback)
This is a very excellent documentary made by an Arab journalism producer person, Nabil Kassem about Darfur.
Two years ago, Al Arabiya producer Nabil Kassem was asked to put together a documentary film on Darfur. What he witnessed there, and recorded in this film, were scenes of unspeakable brutality and untold suffering, scenes he thought would surely wake up an Arab public all too willing to let Darfur pass by. But ‘Jihad on Horseback’ never made it across the airwaves.
Do you want to know why it have never reached the television?
In this highly charged interview with Co-Editor and Publisher Lawrence Pintak, Kassem speaks of how with the help of a telephone Sudanese President Omar Al-Bashir prevented the broadcast of perhaps the most provocative documentary film ever made by an Arab director.
Dictator Omar Hassan al-Bashir don’t want nobody to watch this TRUTH. You must watch it. You can see it below:

[…] It’s the first documentary of its kind by an Arab about Darfur. It’s very vivid and it comes with tons of interviews. Those who understand Arabic will find it extremely revealing (non-Arabic speakers, don’t worry there are English subtitles). Click here. […]
Of course the documentary leaves out the role the United States has played in fueling the violence in Sudan See http://allthingspass.com/journalism.php?jid=165

Some of the peace keeping forces of the African Union come from countries where there is still violence going on. Yet people do not want to address this.
The violence in the Congo and surrounding countries has resulted in millions of deaths and displaced people. There are mass rapes and sex slavery and slave labor being exploit. But why doesn’t Central Africa get the same attention as Darfur?. Is it because Western countries benefit from the Diamonds and natural resources they extract from this region?
Most of the attention that Darfur gets is done by phonies crying crocodile tears, I have written in my blog about how the plight of war refugees has been exploited by imperial activists. See http://gettingtruth.blogspot.com/2007/05/first-image-is-cover-of-book-about.html
