This is simply a pathetic and heartless way to exterminate a deeply troubled people. The killers do not deserve to be called human.

Isnt it amazing, however, that these same people, from these same countries basically spit on the Jews/Israeli in general, HOWEVER, when they need medical care, a safe haven, help during disasters, the Jews/Israelis are the first people they look to for aid.

I'm always shocked when I hear my fellow Sudanese being killed by Egyptian Police and no Sudanese or Egyptian Authorities talking about it.Simply because they are from Black African origin (Darfur and South Sudan). When will this Arabic culture of killing end? Why do you kill a refugee, someone in crisis who is homeless,hungry,poor and mentally ill and yet you claim to be human being? Shame on you (Muslem Arabs).

If you are a Sudanese still leaving in Egypt and you really lost hope in returning home,please seek asylum in African countries such as Ethiopia,Kenya, Uganda and Eritrea. Egyptian and Northen Governments are running the same business of extinction.

Dam If You do .... Dam If you don'tAug 4th, 2007 - 05:07:19




Ok, so we heard the story of channel 10. We heard the story from one side only. What about the other side of the story? Shouldn't we ask the Egyptians about their side of the story? Or is one sided story good enough for us?

If the Egyptians turn their heads the other side, we blame them and when they try their best (even though we think their best is not good enough) not to allow refugees to cross into Israel we again blame them.

If what they are doing is not good enough for us then we should ask them to STOP and refrain from preventing any refugees from crossing the borders and let the Israeli side handle the matter and hand to the smugglers red roses bouquets next time they cross the borders.

This is the typical scenario of “Dam If You Do” “Dam If You Don’t”

Good Luck guys … Keep up the good work encouraging the Egyptians to prevent them from crossing the borders next time they see them. You are doing a great job.

If Australia did this the world would declare war on Australia! With Haneef being deported back to India he is claiming he is no terrorist!
I can't believe that we are so soft here yet in Egypt it is the total opposite. The soldiers should get shot. I hope Israel teaches them another lesson.
If not, Australia should, and we are no strangers to the Middles East. Watch out you hairabs.

When inhumane acts are tolerated or ignored by world opinion, when the UN is oblivious to blatant governmetal cruelty, then we are all diminished. There is something basically evil in a government that kills , murders without restraint--is it the Moslem religion that condones murder, or even encourages it?--Do the Egyptians really believe that there will never be an accounting required for their disregard of other humans.
These Sudanese refugees understnad that Israel is unique in the Middle East and does respect human life, and so they attempt to leave the Moslem world of murder for the Jewish world of compassion.

The situation for refugees around the world is shameful, and if what was reported is true, then the guards should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, but i have my doubts about the integrity of this article. Egypt, a poor and overpopulated country, has absorbed 5 million Sudanese. These are not people with special skills that are filling a need for Egypt. They are an economic burden to an already overstressed economy, who see Egypt as a transit station and give it very little respect. Some do not abide by the laws, while others choose to defy authority outright, and that cannot be tolerated. If Egypt is not an acceptable place for them, then they should have gone elsewhere in the first place, or remained in Sudan. Israel has made it very clear that it does not want these refugees, and I wonder how compassionately it would act if instead of getting a handful of Sudanese, they were to get tens or hundreds of thousands. As for the ' visibly shaken' Israeli soldier, i wish he and his country would share the same compassion towards the hundreds of thousands of Palestinian refugees that Israel has created. This is little more than propaganda. As for the well spoken student from Israel, we are not the ones who seize land by force. We are not the ones who ethnically cleansed Palestinians to establish Israel's 'Jewish integrity'. We are not the ones who deny people their most basic human and civil rights on religious grounds. We, however, are the animals who gave you algebra, large parts of geometry and trigonometry. We are the animals who made the discoveries that serve as a foundation to astronomy, physics, chemistry, and medicine. Educate yourself so that you can be released from the hatred and ignorance that consumes you.

Me Myself as a Sudanese I will work hard to bring this issues to the whole world and International commmunity, as the Sudanese Goverment gives Egyptian Goverment sign & power to contuine killing the Sudan people. I swear I will arise this issues. This is a clear message that The Arab wanted to goencide African Sudanese who are the real people of Great Sudan.

Arabs are clever. By killing these fleeing Africans, they, unlike those 'racist Isrealis', will have already resolved the 'right to return' issue.

Try returning from the grave abid.

first of all the accuracy of this story is questionable because the source is a soldier in the Israel army near the boarder u say .ok what if he is the one who shot them while they were on the Egyptian side of the boarder and it is not the first time almost every day egyptian citizens are shot dead or severely ingured by israel troops on the boarders some intended and some while they were shooting Palestinians in thei daily hunt for innocent flesh man,women or children ,and don't forget that a tank had shot two egyptian soldiers couple of years ago only for fun and the good for nothing prime minister said that it was an accident .ACCIDENT how did the tank get to the boarders when the peace agreement states that no heavy weapons should get near the boarders (5 km range) and now you start blaming egypt that they are murderers there is only 350 soldier along the egypyian side while u have army units as the report say then who is the one is most likely to commited the murder if it really happened because u have no proof that it really happened as the shaken soldier was overcomed by the claimed egyptian soldiers ,now think about what u said in the end of the report
the prime minister had reached an agreement that ur army will capture the refugees and send them back to egypt what if after they got in israel they didn't want to come easily or surrender and they fought back what would have happened of coures u will build a camp around them and send the food and the redcross to them right .no it won't happen u will kill and beat to death and throw the corpse into the egyptian side and scream like babies egyptian soldiers killed the poor refugees and get a soldier who don't want to reveal his name to descripe the brutality of the egyptian troops damn them .please think before u speak ,and don't forget that israel is a thug and an nation of murderers nothing more
if u don't believe me ,try reading the history or watching the television ,want a hint der yasin ,qana and the egyptian soldiers who were captured by israel troops in 1967 and 1956 and see who is the one who is likely to commit a murder .i can refer to another one any one remember the video of muhammad el dora that little kid that was killed by an Israeli soldier just for fun ,or the 3 month old iman who was killed by a grenade .but i think u are right and i'm wrong these are made by egyptians who sneak into ur peaceful country and commit all these murders and sneak back and they do this all because theu are all muslims ,muslim is the one who kill children and women not the jews of israel (not all jews because i know jews that hate the name of ur country american jews who call u a gang nothing more and i don't know the reason that made them believe so but i can count 100 or more reasons).

now u may sleep tight and don't forget to cry over the refugees who was brutally muredered by the egyptians ,but plz when u meet them tell them what ur religion say about them (those who are not jews-al aghyar)


live in dreams

The poor, desperate Sudanese are murdered by Egyptian Border Police because they are unable or unwilling to pay the 'fee' to look the other way. The Egyptian Police are protecting one way that they supplement their meagre salaries. Unfortunately, these acts continue. There was another murder of Sudanese refugees on the Egyptian-Israeli border this month.
