Hasan Minhaj
Patriot Act-
Protests in Sudan
Comedy with
conscience usually gets quite intolerable,but Hasan manages to churn out a good
show on Sudan .
He focuses on
Sudan Professionals Association,an alliance of doctors,lawyers,journalists and
other professionals,who forced the ouster of President Omar Bashir. Now they
have taken on the Transitional military rulers who are responsible for the June
3 Khartoum massacre.
Minhaj talks
about the war in Darfaur, role then and prominence now of Delmeiti,the
Depy.Chief of Transitional Govt.,his patronage of Janjaweed militia,his
closeness with Saudis,UAE and Egypt,and his role in checking emigration from
Eritrea and Ethiopia into Europe. Sudan’s eastern border runs along the Red
Sea,and its importance for the GCC and USA is beyond question.
This episode
has been a surprise. Minhaj keeps to the point and delivers an understated but
engaging show.
