The NDC Must Return Sudan’s Cash Donation Immediately!

It is hard to fathom why a Ghanaian political party that says it is guided by social democratic principles, accepted a cash donation of a little over half a million US dollars from Sudan (one of the most despotic regimes in Africa today), to help it put up a permanent headquarters building. 

The question is: Are we to assume that the Mills regime is not aware of the fact that the regime of President Al Bashir treats its black African population as second-class citizens – and that millions of black Africans in that country have had their lives turned upside down in Darfur and in parts of Southern Sudan, under the cruelest of circumstances? 

Does the government of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) not know that mass-murder; brutal gang-rapes; unprecedented maiming of scores of innocent men, women, and children; are the abominable methods used by the regime of President Al Bashir to achieve its ethnic-cleansing agenda in Western Sudan? 

Are they not aware that the fence-mending exercise President Bashir’s regime is currently engaged in the areas of Sudan where its black African population is in the majority, is mere window-dressing by a cynical regime led by Africa’s equivalent of Adolf Hitler – to help it win the impending elections in Sudan?

The question we must ask, dear reader, is: Just who in the National Democratic Congress regime was the conduit for the cash donation from Sudan – and precisely what was the quid pro quo for the money?

The Mills regime must not associate our country with regimes in Africa which are despotic in nature – and where black Africans are treated as less than human in the continent of their birth. 

Does the government of Ghana not know that the members of the ruthless regime now in power in Sudan regard themselves as “Arabs” and superior beings – who ought to be allowed by the world to dominate Sudan’s black African population till the very end of time?

Has it not struck the NDC regime that if its own ministers had had the misfortune of being born in Southern Sudan or in Darfur, they would be treated as inferior beings by the evil rulers of Sudan, on account of their dark hues? 

 Let us be brutally frank, the Sudanese regime of the indicted war-criminal Al Bashir, is not the sort of regime a civilized nation like Ghana ought to be dealing with. Period. 

Why associate our nation with a reprehensible regime responsible for some of the most egregious human right abuses, committed anywhere on the surface of the planet Earth, I ask, dear reader?

 President Mills must ensure that the cash donation to his NDC party from the Sudanese regime is returned immediately – if he does not want his regime and his party to be forever associated with this odious and monstrous regime whenever the history of 21st century Africa is recounted by future generations of pan-Africanists. A word to the wise…
