Incident at Omdurman, Sudan

Yahoo News! reported that the widespread genocide in Darfur may spread to Khartoum, capital city of Sudan if the government violated the peace agreement signed with the Sudan Liberation Movement ("SLM"), the only armed faction from Darfur region that signed a peace deal with the government.

On Saturday, 24 Mar, 11 people were killed in Omdurman, a town which is about 40 mins from Khartoum, the place where I stay. Hmmmmmmmmmm ........ wondering when I'm going back there again. It was only a small issue on traffic violation that erupted into shootings by the Sudanese authorities or authoritarian???.

SLM leader Minni Minnawi quoted this:-
* state agents had deliberately provoked the incident in what he said was an attempt by the government to sabotage the peace process.
* what happened reveals a will to move from peace to a state of war.
