This is all I was left with:
"Secretary of State John Kerry said on Sunday the beginning of direct
talks was an important step, but that both sides need to put the
interests of South Sudan above their own. The United States played a big
role in bringing decades of war in the region to an end. South Sudan
peacefully broke away from Sudan in 2011. Kerry said the United States will not support anyone who uses force to seize power, in an apparent message for Machar."
Unless they do it at our behest, with our encouragement, or having our support and approval. Then it's okay.
"Eric Reeves, a Sudan expert, said Machar may not have been party to
any talks yet because he wants to enter any negotiations from a position
of strength. Reeves said he’s concerned Machar might try to make a deal
with Sudan, which desperately needs the revenue it receives by moving
South Sudan’s oil to market. One scenario Reeves outlined: Khartoum
agrees to an
arrangement in which Sudan’s military, in the interests of regional
security, protects Machar in his ‘‘stewardship’’ of the Unity oil fields."
Yes, the current situation in Sudan is all about acce$$ to oil, nothing more.
Now the failed coup(?) against the AmeriKan puppet dictator makes sense, as does the agenda-pu$hing media concern about ethnic cleansing and violence (with questions of how long the country’s oil will flow and whether Sudan could enter the conflict) with the U.N. and U.S. even as they send in more troops and Obama "said he might take “further action” to support Americans and interests in the contested region."
Thus you get the Xmas gift of mass graves (even though they couldn't confirm such a thing, sigh; where have we seen all this before?) and calls for a truce and ceasefire as the war paper calls for peace. Even though I was told "we" were winning the "Ghost Army" is on the march -- but they disbanded(?) before everyone took a break for the New Year.
Which is where we pick up the Bor-ing story again (and noted refugee crisis) with the rebels once again on the march to Juba. As for what is going on in Sudan, everyone can see it. First the French are in Mali to fight Al-CIA-Duh, then Central Africa explodes, and now strife in the Sudan. You connect the dots on the map. This is recolonization of the continent, folks, under the guise of fighting "terrorism" -- to be brief.
Thus the talks were the last thing I saw in my agenda-pushing Globe because there was nothing yesterday or today. Oil must have been all boiled down.
NEXT DAY UPDATE:
You do understand what a blank space means, right?
Reminds me of another agenda-pushing issue that recently disappeared from my news pages:
"15,000 nationalists march in Kiev" by Nataliya Vasilyeva | Associated Press, January 02, 2014
KIEV — About 15,000 people marched through Kiev on Wednesday night to honor Stepan Bandera, glorified by some as a leader of Ukraine’s liberation movement and dismissed by others as a Nazi collaborator.
The march was held in Ukraine’s capital on what would have been Bandera’s 105th birthday. Some marchers wore the uniform of a Ukrainian division of the German army in World War II.
However, many of Bandera’s followers sought to play down his collaboration with the Germans in the fight for Ukraine’s independence as the leader of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists.
Bandera, who died 55 years ago, remains a deeply divisive figure, glorified by many in western Ukraine as a freedom fighter but dismissed by millions in eastern and southeastern Ukraine as a traitor to the Soviet Union’s struggle against the occupying German army.
Bandera was a leader of Ukraine’s nationalist movement in the 1930s and 1940s, which included an insurgent army that fought alongside Nazi soldiers during part of World War II. His supporters claim they sided with the Nazis against the Soviet army, believing that Adolf Hitler would grant Ukraine independence.
Bandera did collaborate with the Nazis and receive German funding for subversive acts in the USSR. He fell out with the Nazis in 1941, after the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists declared Ukraine’s independence, and he was sent to a concentration camp.
Bandera won back Germany’s support in 1944, and he was released. The German army was hoping the Ukrainian insurgents could stop the advance of the Soviet army, which had regained control over much of eastern Ukraine. Bandera set up a headquarters in Berlin and oversaw the training of Ukrainian insurgents by the German army.
His group also was involved in the ethnic cleansing that killed tens of thousands of Poles in 1942-44. The group encouraged locals to ‘‘destroy’’ Poles and Jews. Bandera was assassinated in 1959 by the KGB in West Germany.
--more--"
Only thing I've seen since meaning the coup attempt has gone covert.
So AmeriKa was supporting a bunch of Ukrainian Nazis?
