GENOCÍDIO FEITO POR ÁRABES

Os belos mé(r)dia da sociedade portuguesa - que não serão muito diferentes da esmagadora maioria dos das outras sociedades ocidentais - deram a notícia de que a violação estava a ser usada como arma de guerra no Sudão.
A violação como arma de guerra?
O que é que o cidadão comum pensa quando ouve isto?
Julgará que se trata, certamente, de... violações em massa, pronto, é coisa comum em todas as guerras, olha que tristeza, este mundo está cheio de maldade, acontece todos os dias, enfim, é tão vulgar.

Esqueceram-se, os jornalistas, de explicar em concreto qual o efeito que visam os que, no Sudão, usam o estupro como arma de guerra - esse efeito é o genocídio.
Genocídio é toda a acção que vise exterminar todo um povo como povo em si, ou seja, fazer desaparecer uma determinada identidade nacional/étnica/racial. E os soldados árabes no Sudão violam mulheres para que a raça dessas mulheres desapareça, isto é, seja absorvida, isto é, aniquilada, pelo povo dos violadores.

Quem está a usar o estupro como arma genocida, são Árabes que consideram os negros como inferiores.

O quanto isto não seria muito mais falado se os agressores, em vez de Árabes, fossem... Europeus...


At first light on Sunday, three young women walked into a scrubby field just outside their refugee camp in West Darfur. They had gone out to collect straw for their family's donkeys. They recalled thinking that the Arab militiamen who were attacking African tribes at night would still be asleep. But six men grabbed them, yelling Arabic slurs such as "zurga" and "abid," meaning "black" and "slave." Then the men raped them, beat them and left them on the ground, they said.

"They grabbed my donkey and my straw and said, 'Black girl, you are too dark. You are like a dog. We want to make a light baby,' " said Sawela Suliman, 22, showing slashes from where a whip had struck her thighs as her father held up a police and health report with details of the attack. "They said, 'You get out of this area and leave the child when it's made.' "

Interviews with two dozen women at camps, schools and health centers in two provincial capitals in Darfur yielded consistent reports that the Janjaweed were carrying out waves of attacks targeting African women. The victims and others said the rapes seemed to be a systematic campaign to humiliate the women, their husbands and fathers, and to weaken tribal ethnic lines. In Sudan, as in many Arab cultures, a child's ethnicity is attached to the ethnicity of the father.

"The pattern is so clear because they are doing it in such a massive way and always saying the same thing," said an international aid worker who is involved in health care. She and other international aid officials spoke on condition of anonymity, saying they feared reprisals or delays of permits that might hamper their operations.

She showed a list of victims from Rokero, a town outside of Jebel Marra in central Darfur where 400 women said they were raped by the Janjaweed. "It's systematic," the aid worker said. "Everyone knows how the father carries the lineage in the culture. They want more Arab babies to take the land. The scary thing is that I don't think we realize the extent of how widespread this is yet."

Another international aid worker, a high-ranking official, said: "These rapes are built on tribal tensions and orchestrated to create a dynamic where the African tribal groups are destroyed. It's hard to believe that they tell them they want to make Arab babies, but it's true. It's systematic, and these cases are what made me believe that it is part of ethnic cleansing and that they are doing it in a massive way."
