Our New Envoy
As most as you have seen by now, President Obama has appointed retired Air Force General Scott Gration as the U.S. envoy for Sudan. A couple thoughts. First and foremost, I don’t think this appointment would have been made as quickly as it was without the significant activist pressure we have seen from all quarters calling for a special envoy. This is why activism has never been more important.
What to make of the pick? There are some clear positives. Gration is a friend and confidant of Obama's. As a former Air Force general he should carry real weight with the Pentagon in the interagency process, and he certainly is well positioned if a no-fly zone becomes a larger part of the U.S. strategy. Gration also grew up in Congo and traveled with then-Senator Obama to Africa in 2006.
There are also some questions. Will Gration carry the same diplomatic heft as the other new special envoys on the block: Richard Holbrooke; George Mitchell; and Dennis Ross? Does Gration have the right diplomatic skills to forge a multilateral strategy for a comprehensive approach to peace in Sudan? How will Gration work with the State Department?
General, we wish you the very best and want you to succeed.

Public domain sheet music
Publishers who supply free sheet music for piano on their websites usually make use of melodies belonging to the public domain. When someone compose a piece of music it is normally copyright protected for a limited period of time. Actually this time period can be quite long but when this time period has passed the copyright expires and the work becomes public domain. Piano

Obama's Special envoy to Sudan
I hope the new US envoy to Sudan will be witty enough to understand the case of Darfur, away from the propaganda in the media and the falsified files made by intelligence. If he came with prejudices and/or hidden agendas then he will not be better than his predecessors. If the Americans are genuine in solving this problem then it will be solved, by defusing their handmade problem, with other players of course. Otherwise they will increase, in a deliberate manner, the complexity of the fragile situation in the Darfur region. It is time that all issues put on the table for an open discussion with genuine intention to reach desired solutions without pressure, for the Sudanese government and peoples are fully aware of the interests of the West in Sudan, yet they are ready to negotiate. They are not as naive as their fellow Arabs or African neighbors to accept or let the agenda of the West to pass against their national interests. Legalization of neocolonialism will not come from the gates of the Sudan. Yahia Alfazazi, Khartoum, Sudan
