Sudan’s Islamic dictator Omar al-Bashir refuses overfly rights for Kenya-Israel flight route

16

Once again, a Muslim leader standing in the way of the future, progress, peace, following the example of Muhammad, their “prophet.”  If I may quote Pope Benedict XVI, who unleashed a worldwide jihad when he quoted a 14th-century dialogue between the Byzantine emperor, Manuel II Paleologos, and a Muslim scholar. In a passage on the concept of holy war, Benedict recited a passage of what he called “startling brusqueness,” in which Manuel questioned the teachings of Islam’s prophet, Muhammad, “Show me just what Muhammad brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached,” Benedict quoted the emperor as saying.

It was true then, it’s true now.

For those unfamiliar with the devout monster Sudanese president Omar al-Bashir, his war crimes include mas murder, extermination and rape and slavery. He has committed genocide. The silence of the United Nations is a stunning indictment of their complicity and failure to act in the cause of life and liberty. His own people have taken to the streets demonstrating for his removal. But like any dictator, he won’t budge.

Sudan president says refused overfly rights for Kenya-Israel flight route

By: i24NEWS, January 6, 2018:

Bashir accuses ‘Zionist lobby’ in the West of backing an ‘economic and diplomatic siege’ against Sudan

Sudanese president Omar al-Bashir said Saturday that he refused a request by Kenya’s national air carrier to fly over its airspace on a direct Nairobi-Tel Aviv route, refuting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s claim that Israel and Sudan had made headway on the issue.

“We received a request to use our airspace on the route to Tel Aviv. The request did not come from El Al, but from Kenya Airways — we refused,” al-Bashir reportedly said in an interview with a local Sudanese television network.

In December, Netanyahu said that Israel would “probably” be given permission to fly over Sudan, thus shaving two hours off direct flights to Latin America.

“Sudan will not be the first to normalize its relations with Israel, rather the latter” Bashir said, accusing it of fomenting unrest in his country.

Bashir, who has sought in recent weeks to fend off domestic unrest threatening his iron rule, accused the “Zionist lobby” in the West of backing an economic and diplomatic siege on Sudan, saying that Israel’s primary strength was its “ability to weaken its enemies.”

Israel and Sudan have never had any official diplomatic relations, and Israel has long been wary of the predominantly Sunni Muslim nation’s ties to Iran. But the two countries have reportedly been working behind-the-scenes towards normalizing ties as part of Netanyahu’s efforts to forge relations with the Arab world.

Israel’s drive to establish relations with Muslim-majority African nations including Sudan, Mali and Niger has reportedly been driven in part by Israel’s desire to slash air travel time to Latin America.

On Thursday, Bashir reportedly told a meeting with Sufi leaders in Khartoum that he had been “advised” to normalize ties with Israel to quell violent protests in the country sparked by a government decision to triple bread prices in response to shortages.

Sudan’s intelligence chief had earlier accused Israel of orchestrating the deadly protestsEight people have been killed in Sudan in clashes with riot police during protests over the rising price of bread

Israel is considered a world leader in agriculture technology, and reportedly offered Sudan aid in the fields of medicine, agriculture and the economy in exchange for the establishment of relations between the two countries.

The protests across Sudan in recent weeks are the biggest threat to Bashir’s iron-fisted rule since he swept to power in a 1989 coup. The demonstrations, which have so far left 19 dead, have swelled into anti-government rallies with some protesters adopting the 2011 Arab Spring slogan “the people want the fall of the regime”.

Bashir, wanted by the International Criminal Court on genocide charges connected to a 15-year-old rebellion in the western region of Darfur, came to power in an Islamist-backed coup that toppled former prime minister Sadiq al-Madhi and his democratically elected government.

Analysts say Sudan’s involvement in numerous regional conflicts and a failure to boost agriculture in a country once renowned as a major grain producer have left its economy in shambles.

Bashir’s 26-year rule has seen the country slapped with sanctions over rights abuses and its support for Islamic extremists.

It is listed by the US government as a state-sponsor of terrorism.

Sudan has in the past assisted Israel’s enemies, having for years hosted a Hamas command center and a factory for long-range rockets for Palestinian militants, serving as a base for smuggling weapons into Gaza.

But in early 2017, Sudan — long one of Iran’s few Sunni Arab allies — severed ties with Tehran following its execution of a prominent Saudi Shia cleric.

The move was reportedly welcomed by Israel at the time as “in coherence with Israeli interests”.

There is enslavement of Africans in North-Sudan in accordance to unjust Muhammad*. Omar Al-Bashir & also Qatar allegedly also supported & armed the mass-murder-campaign by Boko Haram around Nigeria leading to the Muhammadist tyranny in Nigeria to which Trump just sold weapons.
I’ve read grains wouldn’t be that healthy.
It must be stopped that it is normed that politicians aren’t prosecuted for crimes like arming Islamistisis Inbred society ISIS, financing Muhammadism & arming them.
We need a government that protects the ethical values of truth, justice, love, American English, friendliness, ecology, human rights, global imperialism, freedom from religion & to atheism, healthy food (see DrAxe.com), cultivation of ecological best quality basics, support for self-realisation & the abolition of the unjust Muhammad-law worldwide.
*Africans are enslaved in Saudi Arabia, UAE, Oman, Yemen, Kuwait, Lebanon, Bahrain, North-Sudan, Libya, Algeria, Mauritania, Niger, Somalia, Nigeria in emulation of unjust Muhammad who started the global African slave-trade by saying his unproven deity had turned Africans black so Africans’ descendants would be slaves to Arabs & Turks.

Unless KQ was planning to use an Embraer 190, this is much ado about nothing as a detour isn’t significant, unlike those LY has to take.

Wow! Now, please tell us all here just exactly what kind of cocktail of drugs/meds you are experimenting with. Because, it producing some fantastic results. Perhaps you should stop wasting your time here and start writing fantasy novels. You probably won’t make any money at it but, at least it’ll give you a change of venue.

Look at a map. KQ – IATA code for Kenya Airways (I use that as shorthand all the time). A detour over the Red Sea would not put TLV out of range for a Boeing 737-800 in Kenya Airways’ configuration even with an airport a mile high. KQ thought it could get overflight with the overflight rights that Saudi Arabia and Oman have granted on flights to and from Israel (but not to Israeli airlines themselves). IZ (Arkia) – a division of Jordache – used to fly Tel Aviv to Nairobi but suspended the route in 2003 because of the lack of a suitable aircraft.

If anyone is on drugs…it would be you. You have to understand a lot of things to understand what I made.

“Sudanese president Omar al-Bashir said Saturday that he refused a
request by Kenya’s national air carrier to fly over its airspace….” That’s ok. The next time, the filthy Bashir wants some foreign aid in the form of medicine, or food, the benefactors (probably the U.S.), can drop the entire shipment through the roof of his palace.
