Things that make you go hmmm.

Hot on the heels of Russia and China vetoing a Security Council motion to impose sanctions against Zimbabwe the BBC’s Panorama programme has uncovered incontrovertible evidence that China is complicit in supplying arms and training to Sudanese forces in Dafur. Isn’t that the same China that the government here is so cozy with? The one that is getting billions to build tall buildings everywhere? I guess doing business with a government that is assisting genocide is A-OK.It is only Africa after all.  I see that China has also forgiven millions in debt owed by Sudan and donated millions to building a new Presidential Palace all in return for energy…that was really nice of them. Oh wait! Who provided the PM’s palace here again? Nah…that can’t be a pattern.
