Sudan's Foreign Ministry says it has 'solid proof' that Israel launched missiles at port city, maintains stance that neither targets were involved in flow of arms from Iran to Gaza.
Before Tunisia's uprising last month and the subsequent revolt in Egypt, Sudan was the last Arab country to kick out a repressive president through popular protests in 1985.
Imagine, impossible as it may be, that a Jewish state that is home to hundreds of thousands of Holocaust survivors, could decide not only to imprison African refugees for five years, but to make those fleeing genocide in Sudan subject to prison sentences of at least seven years.
No one questions Israel's right to prevent mass illegal immigration for purely economic reasons. However, those who are escaping from Darfur and southern Sudan do not belong to that category of refugee. They are fleeing the threat of genocide.
