This is coolbert:
Regarding that recent purported Israeli air strike in the Sudan.
We should not find it surprising that the nation of Sudan is involved in terrorist or jihad activity. Sudanese Muslims have a long history and association with Islamic fanaticism and militancy.
From the nineteenth century [19th], here are the jihadists of the day.
Called, at the time, by the British, the "dervishes".
The Sudanese forces of the Mahdi, the ansar [helpers].
Black Africans, Muslims, following Arabic culture, rising in rebellion against their Anglo/Egyptian rulers and Ottoman [?] administrators.
[among themselves, these black Sudanese Africans refer to themselves as Arabs? Disdain other black African tribes, referring to them with the pejorative term of abd' [black house slave]!]
Followers [ansar] of the Mahdi, a self-proclaimed prophet, able to obliterate repeatedly various Anglo/Egyptian military forces sent to "quell" the rebellion, the disturbances. The destruction of Hick's Pasha and his entire unit as shown in the movie "Khartoum" just being one example.
The Mahdi and his followers had really big ideas. First the Sudan would be reclaimed for Islam. Then all of Africa, then the whole world. Did not transpire of course, but still, the desire and thought were there. Masses of lightly armed [spears, swords, and whatever firearms they could capture] of fanatical, religiously inspired tribesmen eventually swarming the defenses of Khartoum, defeating Chinese Gordon, lopping off the head of Gordon, against the wishes of the Mahdi.
And able to establish a stable Islamic regime that lasted until the Battle of Omdurman. Ansar, rushing forward to their death, heedless of the terrible consequences, men armed with spears against machine guns and rapid firing artillery pieces.
ANSAR LATER FOUND TO BE WEARING CHAIN MAIL AS TAKEN OFF THE BODIES OF VANQUISHED CRUSADERS, FROM SEVEN HUNDRED YEARS EARLIER OR SO!!!
The atrocity of the janjaweed, the twenty year war against the Christian/animist black Africans of southern Sudan, and the assistance [ansar = helper] rendered to the latter-day dervishes [Hamas] should not surprise anyone?
