Kola Boof is a very important voice in these times, and she *needs* allies right now. . .i was forwarded this a while back. . .to be honest i don't know how much of a difference a letter will make to the Sudanese NIF, but i think it's worth the time. . .

Press Anouncement by Solomon Amadou

Sept. 26, 2002



Dear Friends,

Sudan's Arab Muslim government has declared fatwa on Kola Boof today following a very vicious article written by a Sudanese government official (diplomat Gamal Ibrahim) in London's largest Arabic daily newspaper.

fatwa basically means that the government will handsomely reward the person or group that KILLS Kola Boof for the crime of "blasphemy" against Islam.

There is something small but effective that you can do to stop her assassination, however. You can write a letter or an email (both addresses below) directly to Boof's killers--the National Islamic Front c/o Peter Gordon in London, UK.

As these letters or emails pour in by the dozens, Sudan's NIF will realize that killing Kola Boof will only give the Arab Muslim government of Sudan more negative publicity. There is chronic slavery in Sudan and continuing "ethnic cleansing" (2 million Nile River Southerners have been eliminated so far). You must understand that many dark brown people in Sudan (the color of Kola Boof) do not consider themselves African, they claim to be "Arab" (many Nubians straighten their hair and convert to Islam just to stay alive!).

Please take time out to write a short note expressing your displeasure...your protest...against the assassination of Kola Boof by writing either a letter or email to:

NIF (National Islamic Front) c/o Peter Gordon

Al Sharq Al awsat

184 High Holborn

London WC V1 7AP

United Kingdom



or send an email (which is quicker!) to:

alrashed@asharqalawsat.com

Thank you sincerely, Solomon Amadou
