Real Peace? Unlikely.


Well, it seems the leader of Sudan Omar al-Bashir has finally agreed to engage in peace talks with the rebels. The Sudanese President will be meeting with the rebels and the Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi in Libya. Although, are they really peace talks? I highly doubt it. Omar al-Bashir's government has been aiding the rebels with weapons. Why would he now try and have peace? In my opinion, the Sudanese President has only agreed to these peace talks to appease the nations putting pressure on his government. It's an act; a show. I truly would like to believe that there could be peace in Darfur, but I don't think this is the way it will happen. Omar al-Bashir denies aiding the rebels, but he does not deny that he believes the people of Darfur do not have to right to live in Sudan, or live at all. Considering that the rebels have not done as Omar al-Bashir has requested, it doesn't make sense for him to want a reconciliation. My question to you is: What do you think will come out of these talks? Think about it.
