[wvns] Sudan Dumps Dollar: America Vows Revenge
Sudan's Central Bank opts for euro
By MOHAMED OSMAN
KHARTOUM, Sudan
http://www.businessweek.com/ap/financialnews/D8TQI9O00.htm
The Central Bank of Sudan will deal only in the euro
beginning in 2008 and advised local commercial banks
to opt for convertible currencies other than the U.S.
dollar.
The announcement, made public in a circular note
distributed to banks late Thursday, reflected efforts
by the central authorities to steer away from the weak
dollar amid Sudan's economic boom.
The new policy note, signed by Governor of the Central
Bank Sabir Mohamed al-Hassan, said all Central Bank
dealings would be in the euro starting Jan. 1.
The note also recommended commercial banks us
currencies other than the U.S. dollar, with the view
to "lessen the risk of continuing to deal in the U.S.
dollar."
The euro bought $1.4701 in afternoon European trading
Friday, up from $1.4627 in late New York trading on
Thursday.
Banks should advise account holders to commute U.S.
dollar assets to other currencies and "enlighten them
on the risks associated with maintaining balances in
the American dollar," it said, without elaborating.
The advisory also said banks using the dollar would
"bear the risks resulting from those dealings," but a
shift to other currencies was optional.
After a decade of American sanctions, Sudan has few
commercial ties to the United States.
Nearly 75 percent of Sudan's trade is with Arab and
Asian nations and Sudanese firms are already using the
euro extensively.
Last year, Sudan's economy grew by 12 percent,
according to the International Monetary Fund. That
growth was propelled by the estimated 500,000 barrels
of oil produced each day -- two-thirds of it bought by China.

Sudan Act a Death Sentence

Hello friends of Sudan and ALL of Palestine,
Please call Bush and oppose divestment from Sudan now!
White House — (202) 456-1111
Stop the "Sudan Accountability and Divestment Act"
S.2271 (SADA)
"Pocket veto for Sudan divestment bill by White House?"
http://www.sudantribune.com/spip.php?article25363
The Sudan Accountability and Divestment Act was signed
unanimously by the US Congress and by all US senators
but one. Its on Bushes desk and US Zionists are
pressuring a doubtfully Bush into signing the economic
assault on pro Palestine, resource rich, Asia friendly
Sudan by this January 2nd or else it is vetoed by
default.
The US Palestine solidarity and anti war movement have
stood by as pro Isntreal groups have soundly defeated
all divestment movements from apartheid in Palestine
while simultaneously getting universities, cities,
states, massive investors, and now the US federal
government to overwhelmingly divest from the
Palestinians strongest supporters in Africa, the
Sudanese.
You can act now and issue the US zionist groups a pro
Palestine, pro Africa, anti war defeat by raising a
ruckus and opposing divestment, sanctions and UN, US,
EU, NATO, AU occupation troops in Sudan's Oil,
uranium, thorium, copper, Gum Arabic, and aquifer rich
Darfur region.
Please call the White House and stop Bush from signing
this 'SADA' bill. Please forward this to all your
lists and ask EVERYONE, EVERYWHERE to call the White
House and stop the US zionist war on Sudan.
Ask him to 'forget' to do it!
White House — 1(202) 456-1111)
Zionist groups hotline # to the White House is
(1-800-436-62433 + 99686# + 4# + we say "NO SADA Act")
Boycott Divest Sanction the Jewist state not Sudan !
Thank you.

The Empire casts a shadow over Sudan

The divestment bill is meant to punish Sudan further
for resisting imperialism's objectives. The ultimate
goal is to overthrow the government of Bashir and
replace it with a regime friendly to the interests of
the Western capitalists. The so-called Save Darfur
Coalition, which has gained prominence in the
bourgeois media as the vanguard of a "humanitarian"
movement, is in fact made up of right-wing U.S.
Christian evangelicals and Zionists, such as the
Christian National Association of Evangelicals and the
American Jewish World Service.

Darfur 3 1/2 years ago. ( US proxy Rwandan, Nigerian

and Miami International Air). American contractors (
PAE/Lockheed Martin ) carried out much of this work.
However, on Dec. 31, 2007, the United Nations will
take over camp construction, operation and maintenance
so we will no longer be handling that aspect. We will,
however, be contributing about 26 percent of the costs
of running the UN/AU peacekeeping operation -- known
as UNAMID.
