"Do NOT pay the ransom!" We have rewarded too many pirates and disgusting Africans for this type of behavior. This part of the world is not our problem. We have our own problems to deal with. What were these AID workers thinking to begin with?
It's about time to let the dumb aid workers die in the hand of the kidnappers. It's the only way to set good example for these dumb people who continue to put themselves in danger and get their government in hostage situation.
ChauD, These workers should not of been in this country to begin with, but, that's another story. I hope to God you never have familly members in this kind of situation. You are a real moron!
Wake up world.... they DO NOT need us there....If they are doing this...They are telling us to stay out of their country ....They DO NOT NEED OUR HELP!!!!!
Why would you go to a war torn country. Missionary workers are not going to save the world.
Do-gooder crusader morons. Let these bone-through-the nose savages kill each other. All the same from Somalia to there,try to feed or save these savages from themselves,and see what happens. Leave the little Mother Theresas there. When will naiive Westerners learn? If the West stopped being so paternalistic and interferfering,this nonsense would end. Strange they have money for guns and rockets. This is absolutely stupid.
First Somalia, now Khartoum.
So much for Obama's trip to Africa and future African involvement in World affairs. Well, they made the news, I guess that is "involvement."
The only negotiations are to let the aid workers go or we put a parking lot by blasting those animals back to the prehistoric times they 'should' have evolved from.Simply Go evacuate ALLL women and children and EXECUTE any and all aggressive Danfur men.When all those apes are dead, then return the women and children with humanitarians but all this "heal the world" dilusion must stop. You CAN NOT HEAL AN OPEN WOUND TODAY WHILE SOME MAGGOT DANFUR MAN COMES ALONG TOMORROW AND REOPENS THE WOUND THE NEXT DAY JUST BECAUSE HE NEEDS A WARM HOLE TO STICK HIS DISEASED WORM INTO.
Pay it !
What's 2 million, out of a budget deficit of "One Trillion" ? Chicken feed.
Those worthless dirt fleas (Danfur men/militants) are holding back progress for that region. Ensnare a group of them and ship them to a lab and open their skulls to study the regions of the brain that breeds violence and depravity. Then stick bones in their noses, paint their faces and mount them in a museum and label the bastards 'Your missing link may not be my missing link'. These Danfur men are all the things disgusting, ugly and dark within mankind. Danfur is the asscrack and pus sore of all Africa.
Nevermind me, my actual problem is that I'm just really angry SOMEONE is trying to help Danfur rather than practice MY GENIUS, RADICAL YET PRACTICAL idea and Danfur takes advantage of a righteous gesture and while well-nourished men of talents debate the negotiations; these women are being raped, abused and it SICKENS AND ANGERS me. Just rescue THE WOMEN AND EXECUTE THE DANFUR BASTARDS ALREADY. I'm so angry, I could melt an Iceberg the size of Danfur because these atrocities can be prevented.
Missionaries have wonderful ideals, but they know that they're going into harms way in many instances. How many French missionaries were slaughtered by Native Americans? How many missionaries are killed in South America every year? The problem is that in many of the areas that these well-intentioned missionaries are operating see them as political foes and/or sources of capital. If you don't like the political climate of the area, then don't go. Otherwise, you take the risk of being the right person in the wrong place at the wrong time. I wish George Clooney would go work there for a time.
Pay it !

Oh wait. They aren't Americans. Aw shucks, pay it anyway. Develope "Good Will" with Africa.
Give them the fake money but put some tracking chips to foolowed them and hopefully they will realease the victims. Then blow them out of the world.
PLEASE FORGIVE MY MIS-SPELLING OF THAT DAMNABLE, ABOMINABLE, WASTE POT. The correct spelling is Done-for.
THOSE DO GOODERS SHOULD HAVE STAYED HOME IN IRELAND. I DON'T SEE ANY OF THE BLACK STARS OR HIGH PAID SPORTS STARS HELPING OVER THERE, JUST A NUT CASE LIKE ANGELINA AND CLOONEY. INSTEAD OF SENDING THEM FOOD SO THEY CAN MAKE MORE BABIES FOR US TO FEED----- SEND THEM BIRTH CONTROL PILLS .
We did not ask them to go there. Do gooders need to stop interferring around the world. Yes, it is sad that people are starving or killing each other, but why is it our job to save them? We only weaken them by offering them a safe haven or a way to live miserably longer. We do not like their government or lack of, but are unwilling to tell them it is a mess of your own doing, fix it.
Taking these people in only weakens the country that needs to feel good. At some point there will be no one left that can do anything but look for a hand out.
And they have not called Brad, Angie, George or Oprah to the rescue? Where are those big mouths now? Apparently there is not enough face time for them. These people do not care about each other so we are suppose to donate money to them? What a crock!
Maybe Oprah could get Barry to go with her to negotiate the captives release. If they too were captured and killed, no loss.
LOL... 2 Million??? yeah right!!... Keep'em... LOL Its not like they didn't know this was a possibility before they went over there... Maybe the UN will work harder to actually protect the folks insane enough to go over to aid the ingrates in these thankless cesspools... As for these two, they might as well take up citizenship cause they in't never going home. 2 Million! LOL awwww man thats a good one!!
Stop shipping all food aid and medical supplies to Africa. They are a bottomless pit of NEED, while our own citizens are in dire straits.
Shows the mentality of these pirates. These countries don't deserve aid from any other nation. Let them rot in their own ignorance.
Sheeeit! Jus' ask yo' man 'resident Osama fo' da money! Dat be "chump change" fo' him. An' he prolly pay it, too! 'Cause day ain't white!
Woof.
Welcome to class. Today's lesson DarfurDarfur – a history
Multi-ethnic Darfur
Darfur’s people are a complex mosaic of between 40 and 90 ethnic groups, some of ‘African’ origin (mostly settled farmers), some Arabs. All Darfurians are Muslim. The Arabs began arriving in the 14th century and established themselves as mainly nomadic cattle and camel herders. Peaceful coexistence has been the norm, with inevitable disputes over resources between fixed and migratory communities resolved through the mediation of local leaders. For much of its history, the division between ‘Arab’ and ‘African’ has been blurred at best, with so much intermarriage that all Darfurians can claim mixed ancestry. Identities have been defined in different ways at different times, based on race, speech, appearance or way of life.http://www.newint.org/features/2007/06/01/h
istory/
At the heart of Darfur is an extinct volcano in a mountainous area called Jebel Marra. Around it the land is famously fertile, and it was here that the earliest known inhabitants of Darfur lived – the Daju. Very little is known about them. The recorded history of Darfur begins in the 14th century, when the Daju dynasty was superseded by the Tunjur, who brought Islam to the region.
Darfur existed as an independent state for several hundred years. In the mid-17th century, the Keyra Fur Sultanate was established, and Darfur prospered.
In its heyday in the 17th and 18th centuries the Fur Sultanate’s geographical location made it a thriving commercial hub, trading with the Mediterranean in slaves, ivory and ostrich feathers, raiding its neighbours and fighting wars of conquest in the surrounding region. http://www.newint.org/features/2007/06/01/histor

In the mid-19th century, Darfur’s sultan was defeated by notorious slave trader Zubayr Rahma, who was in turn subjugated by the Ottoman Empire. At the time, this included Egypt and what is now northern Sudan. The collapse of the Keyra dynasty plunged Darfur into lawlessness. Roaming bandits and local armies preyed on vulnerable communities, and Islamic ‘Mahdist’ forces fighting British colonial control of the region sought to incorporate Darfur into a much larger Islamic republic. A period of almost constant war followed, until 1899 when the Egyptians – now under British rule – recognized Ali Dinar, grandson of one of the Keyra sultans, as Sultan of Darfur. This marked a de facto return to independence, and Darfur lived in peace for a few years.http://www.newint.org/features/2007/06/01/
