THERE are two ways of looking at the diplomatic tug-o-war currently being fought in Washington over the question of the Armenian genocide. One can either decide with his heart, taking the side of the Armenians, and vote, yes, the slaughter of 1.5 million Armenians was genocide. End of story.
Or, one can vote with his mind, and oppose the notion. Either way the United States will upset a close ally in the region.

– Lam Akol Ajawin has served as foreign minister of Sudan since September 2005. He comes from the south of Sudan, a region that fought a decades-long devastating war with Khartoum. He is a high-ranking official in the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement/Army (SPLM/A). When a peace accord was reached between the Khartoum government and the rebels in the south, Ajawin became foreign minister, and the SPLM/A were given several key ministries as part of the government of national unity.
Ajawin agreed to be interviewed by Middle East Times editor Claude Salhani. Excerpts from that interview can be found here
