Louis Farrakhan and Lackey Deny Reality of Arab Slavery and Genocide in Sudan - Again (May 7, 2006)

On May 7, 2006, Louis Farrakhan, leader of the Nation of Islam, and his long-time personal spokesman, Abdul Akbar Muhammad, appeared on black radio host James Mtume’s show on KKST 98.7 in Oakdale, Louisiana.*
One of the topics touched upon was the genocide in the western Darfur region of Sudan, a conflict in which perhaps half a million people were murdered and around two million were displaced. The genocide began in 2003 when black Muslim tribes in the west took up arms against the Arab government in Khartoum due to the capital’s political and economic marginalization of the region.
The segment was recorded on the heels of a rally held on April 30, 2006, on the National Mall in Washington for the genocide’s victims, attended by speakers such as Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel and then-Senator Barack Obama.† Farrakhan and Muhammad’s response to it, however, was returning to an old habit of theirs: defending Sudan’s genocidal Arab regime.
Their lengthy analyses boiled down to a re-framing of the catastrophic civil wars which have plagued the country on and off since independence in 1956 as not a war between Arab Muslims on one side and blacks of several belief systems on the other, but simply a war between different groups of fellow blacks. This revision of the historical record is useful to Farrakhan because it removes blame from his Arab friends for the atrocities committed against blacks in North Africa, and - ironically - places it on his fellow blacks themselves.
According to Farrakhan, the Arabs of Sudan are not actually Arabs, but black people whose genes have been infused with Arab ancestry, and, therefore, their slightly lighter skin causes them to see themselves as racially superior to the much darker-skinned people of what, since 2011, is South Sudan. Genetically, this may be correct, but the Muslim world has consistently showed that it considers Sudanese Arabs to be Arabs, not confused blacks. This is merely Farrakhan trying to distract his critics.
Precisely a decade earlier, Farrakhan had actually denied on camera that Sudanese Arabs were enslaving black Christians, challenging journalists to prove it was happening.‡ When the “Baltimore Sun” then exposed him as a liar,§ Farrakhan retreated from mentioning the issue for 10 years.
Here, Farrakhan brings up the issue of slavery in Sudan once again. He recounts a 1994 meeting with the late leader of the black Sudan People’s Liberation Army (SPLA), Dr. John Garang, in which he fraudulently claims that Garang and his wife never mentioned the crisis of Arab militiamen enslaving black women and children during their four-hour meeting. Farrakhan probably wasn’t listening, because by 1996 - astoundingly (even by Farrakhan’s standards) - he was actively assisting Khartoum’s war effort against the blacks in the south by obtaining money from the dictatorships of Nigeria and the former Zaire. What he did tell Garang, according to witnesses, was that he, as a black man, would support his fellow black people against his fellow Muslims; once again, he was lying.‖ In addition, just as he was betraying the black slaves of Sudan, Clarence Page of the “Chicago Tribune” revealed that Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam had received millions in Arab funding.¶
Finally, Farrakhan (unsurprisingly) brought up the Jews. Since Elie Wiesel had spoken at the April 30 rally, and the late Representative Tom Lantos, also a Holocaust survivor, had spoken out vigorously on behalf of both Sudan’s black slaves and the victims of the genocide in Darfur, Farrakhan denounced the role of “Zionists” in distracting black Americans from other crises in Africa, such as the Congolese Civil War.

Farrakhan’s on point as usual. A real truth warrior! I’m not Muslim but have so much respect for him. The title of this video is nothing but slander. Listen carefully to what he says.
