![]() | Darfur in limbo as political deadlock grips Sudan More at: http://www.therealnews.com North and South continue blame game 2007-10-18 As the Darfur crisis continues to deteriorate, Southern Sudan removed its ministers from the Government of National Unity last week. Northern and Southern Sudan remain deadlocked on sharing oil revenue, drawing borders between north and south, and troop redeployment from each others territory. The Sudan People's Liberation Movement(SPLM) accuses Khartoum of multiple breaches of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement signed in 2005. Khartoum denies these charges. Describing the fragile situation, Khartoum based journalist Opheera McDoom says "it could go either way now, we are at a critical turning point." Update: Despite President Bashir's cabinet shuffle this week, the SPLM said the new ministers "will stay out of government until the application of the terms of the peace accord..." The standoff continues and the crisis in Darfur remains unchanged. |
![]() | Condi's S.O.S. to Canada. What happened to our love? The U.S. Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice was photographed recently with the new Canadian Foreign Minister Maxime Bernier. Condi seemed to look a bit down and I wondered if perhaps she was pining a bit for the former Canadian Minister Peter MacKay? Remembering how well they got on in Condi's visit with Peter to Nova Scotia. MacKay it seems was moved in a recent Cabinet reshuffle to Defence. See - http://www.cbc.ca/canada/story/2007/08/14/cabinet-shuffle.html Well maybe that wasn't it, but I am highly tuned to Condi's moods and something was bothering her I am sure, but anyway, I was inspired by that fancy to produce this music video, set to the ABBA hit S.O.S. ------------------------- 60 plus more Condi videos by this author - http://www.youtube.com/groups_videos?name=dowforcondi Rice for President Yahoo Group - http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Rice-for-President/ - for supporters of Condi Comments posted on this condiTV page MUST be pro-Condi or they will be removed!

![]() | Liberals ready for election Liberal Leader Stéphane Dion says Canadians don't want a federal election, but warned his party is ready to go to the polls unless Prime Minister Stephen Harper meets Liberal demands in the upcoming throne speech. "If, through the throne speech, we see the prime minister wants Parliament to be a rubber stamp, he alone will be responsible for bringing Canada into an election," Dion said during a news conference in Ottawa Tuesday. "If there is an election, we'll be ready, we will win this election." Last week, Harper held his own news conference to tell opposition parties that if they support his speech from the throne on Oct. 16, they must also pass, at later dates, all items that come from it, or risk triggering a federal election. Dion said Harper's comments show he doesn't understand how government works. "He shouldn't say things like he did last week - submit to his will or go to an election. That is not democratic," said Dion. "Parliament has work to do. We can't close our eyes and just vote for every bill. It is unthinkable, what he said." He accused Harper of trying to take Parliament "hostage" by launching an endless series of confidence votes in the upcoming session. Dion repeated his demands that the prime minister commit to an end to Canada's combat role in Afghanistan by February 2009, create a greener federal policy, improve the fight against poverty and strengthen the country's industrial sector. "When we hear the speech, we will assess carefully how it meets what Canada needs and how we, as an opposition, will perform in the reality of a minority government," said Dion. Dion said he wants to make Parliament work and will propose amendments to the throne speech, which lays out the government's plans. The Liberal leader acknowledged he has had a difficult month, losing federal byelections in Quebec and dealing with the scandal surrounding the party's national director, Jamie Carroll. Carroll has accused the party of defamation after controversial comments he was accused of making were leaked. "There has been some damage done. We are a great party. We can take up this challenge," said Dion. "If the prime minister wants to underestimate the Liberals, he will do it at his own expense." Rae appointed foreign affairs critic Dion also announced a shuffle within his shadow cabinet, most noticeably appointing his former leadership rival Bob Rae to the high-profile role of foreign affairs critic. Rae, who was also a former NDP premier of Ontario, does not have a seat in the House of Commons, but plans to run in the next election. There was little mention of the fate of Carroll, Dion's hand-picked national party director, who became a lightning rod for discontent after he was allegedly dismissive of demands for more Quebecers in Dion's inner circle. Dion said the matter is being handled by lawyers and he is unable to comment. With files from the Canadian Press |
