.GlenPearson: The Right to Exist | National Newswatch
In 2002, my wife and I were invited to speak to congressional leaders in Washington D.C. and to address the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on the civil war between north and south Sudan. We had just returned from the region, and the Americans held great interest in the unfolding conflict.
A year ago, Russian President Vladimir Putin said something similar, publishing an article claiming that there “was no historical basis for Ukraine,” going on to state that it really didn’t exist. He continues to maintain that Ukraine isn’t a real country and acts as though its territory belongs to Russia.In 1932, a human-made famine was enforced on Ukraine by Joseph Stalin and the Politburo.
This is important because it is history, despite the Russian attempt to pretend it didn’t exist. It is forever embedded in the hearts of the Ukrainian people, whether it is recognized elsewhere or not, and is likely one of the key reasons for their fearlessness in the present conflict. North Sudan’s attempt to wipe out the south eventually became news and the global community responded with sanctions and legal actions. The president of the north in those years now awaits a war crimes trial, and the people of South Sudan, for all their struggles, have been recognized as their own country by other nations.
