Hello everyone,
With the signing of the Sudanese Peace Agreement...the civil war is officially over and the people of SOUTH SUDAN can vote for "independence" in the year 2011 and become their own nation--to be called KUSH. Hopefully the agreement will STICK. None of the others have in the past.
BUT GUESS WHAT?
.....because of the Sudanese Peace Agreement, there's some good news for ME PERSONALLY. Please be happy for me, because this is a momentous moment in my life.
________
Subject: U.S. Government Reunites KOLA BOOF and 500 Sudanese
PRESS RELEASE
Thanks to the permission of the United States Government, threatened Sudanese-American author Kola Boof will be reunited with more than 500 Nuer and Dinka tribespeople from the Sudan...in of all places...Omaha, Nebraska.
"This is a great moment for the African women of the Nile River Valley", said Jantou Jellou, a Black Egyptian woman in London who heard the news on SPIN radio. "There is no way to describe what our Naima, our Queen Kola--means to the black people of Sudan and Egypt. She is the most hated, lied on, disrespected black woman on earth and the treatment of Kola Boof is merely a symbol of the hatred for all black mothers, everywhere."
The reunion will take place in either March or April of 2005 and will be part of a filmed DVD preceeding the release of Boof's long awaited autobiography "Diary of a Lost Girl"---which details Kola Boof's life long battle against slavery and genocide of "blacks" in the Sudan, as well as her 1996 affair with terrorist Osama Bin Laden and her 1995 affair with Bin Laden's mentor, Hasan al Turabi, the former Vice President of Sudan. Boof says that Sally Hemmings (who had her first child by President Thomas Jefferson at the age of 12) and Pochahantos (also aged 12 when explorers had sex with her) were never able to tell their own stories and in their own words and that she doesn't want to end up like those women--their experiences eventually depicted as "love stories" by White Hollywood.
Although Kola Boof is living now under death threats issued by various groups of the Arab Islamic Diaspora and is well aware that both Bin Laden and al Turabi are alive and capable of killing her today---Boof did a fundraising tour last summer and will be touring again in April 2005, stopping in Atlanta, Detroit, Washington, D.C. and Los Angeles to sign her latest release, "Flesh and the Devil". See tour dates below.
Youseff Deng, a member of the SPLA in New York said that Boof's appearance will give the "Black" Sudanese and "Black" Egyptians an opportunity, as well, to voice their support for Israel and to reiterate the history of Black Slavery and "Colorism" that the Arab Muslim world has brutally inflicted on Africans for more than a thousand years.
Kola Boof has been nicknamed "Queen Kola" by the Nuer and Dinka tribes of Sudan and expects the reunion in Omaha, Nebraska to be quite emotional, as she is no longer able to visit North Africa. *See news stories and tour dates below.

Congrats Kola. This is good news for Sudan! But why will it take so long? Pardon my ignorance, but 2011 is a long way off. What happens in the meantime? |

Hi Linda and Bleek,
Happy New Year, Sistas.
Chris thanks, love you.
The Arab Sudanese have 6 years to PROVE to the Black Southerners that they can be happier by remaining one country. It's a 6 year trial run.
The Arabs have promised to clean up the genocide, smash the slavery trade and share the wealth (which truly ALL belongs to the Southern Blacks, in reality) and to demonstrate that they can make it a fair, equal nation. They have 6 years to do it.
But in 2011, my guess is that the BLACK Sudanese will vote to secede and become "KUSH" again. The level of racial hatred and "colorism" in SUDAN is so severe and marked by such violent recent history that I don't believe the Nubian, Dinka and Nuer and Shilluk will want to remain part of an Arab nation.
Arabs in the North have already begun bashing in the heads of the BLACKS trying to enter their stores or buy food since Sunday. Same old same old.
PEOPLE HATE PEOPLE, you know.
The SPLA---out of guilt for never giving me my PROPS as the highest ranking woman member and for being so sexist in general---are having this big to-do in Omaha, Nebraska (where the U.S. has special protective forces) to show me that I am loved and appreciated....and can now stop bad mouthing them and calling them out for being sexist pigs. LOL
I won't be able to do anything that day but cry--because I have not seen most of the Nuer and Dinka since I was 8 or 10 and MY FATHER was an activist/leader. I have, however, been close to the Nubian and Shilluk people since adulthood.
Thanks so much for congratulating me, because this is such an emotional and important thing in my life. I do feel, finally, that my work was not in vain.

And making it REALLY SPECIAL...is that my Black American family will be there with me....because I feel very deeply that I am also now a Black American/African-American and that the Black Americans are my people.
I lost my birth parents, but I am SO BLESSED to have so much family.
I am changing now and becoming less angry person.
LOVE washes people's anger away.

Sista Kola:
Thanks for explaining this. Now I understand it a little better. And I am so glad to hear that you are allowing some of your anger to wash away (smile) making room for more peace, love, and harmony in your heart and life!
May the New Year bring you many more blessings! |

Yoo Woo Linda, since you're standing on the corner and can't say you didn't see me. Now if you or Ms. Zambia drive by my house again and don't even toot your horn or drop a brotha a call I am going to have to spank the both of you. I mean why not holla at a brotha when you are close. I am sure your man would understand......right? I have coffee and two spare questrooms, it would have been a great time, moments to charish for a lifetime. I'll hold back on my memories spill. You know the one that says memories determine our future. I should be a poet. I think I could work with that theme. Anyway, holla when you can.

Hi Carey
Funny you should mention my dropping by. I plan on being in your neck of the woods sooner than you think! Now, if Sista Kola gives us the date for her outing in Omaha we might be able to hook you up with a special visit! And I take my coffee with light cream, no sugar! Or a cornoa with lime will do fine!

Linda & Kola
First, I don't know how Kola got in on this but the both of you are making me blush. Oh yeah, I don't know how to do that flirt thang. I was really talking about a spanking but of course I forgot the mind of the women and her naughtyness. Anyway, Zambia is another friend of mine that you guys have read but she stays on the outside using Zambia as her board. Soooooo, before all you MARRIED women get yourselves into something you wouldn't want to get out of *smile*, lets slow-up....okay? See, Kola is ready. She needs for someone to tap that thang......sorry, I am just trying to keep it real  . I have a thang against women that show their breast to other men *LOL*.
Linda.....shame on you.

Scullars, thank you.
A_Womon, HELLO!! my baby girl. Hope you're doing fine.
Linda...I don't have the DATE yet for the Omaha, Nevada event, because we're still trying to make it possible for the Grand Leaders of the SPLA to fly in--these men are in places like London and Wash. D.C., they don't like army bases and Omaha is ssoooooo white. LOL. It will probably be late April.
I did, however, just now get the info for my L.A. appearance. Stevie Wonder's KJLH RADIO will be sponsoring and I will probably be on the radio station the day before:

Sorry. I just thought since Kola said she would be in Omaha, just across the line from Iowa that she may be there around the same time as me, so we could surprise you. Now you know I am only gonna stop by for the coffee and to make your day. I ain't trying to put down no roots. None of that funny business for me. Just a friend visiting a friend. Plus, I hear you are not as lonely as you want me to believe (smile) right Awoman? Heck, I might not even get the cup of coffee if other things are happening upon my arrival. Naughty, naughty, Carey. Shame on you! |

Oh Crystal, THANK YOU!!! SO MUCH
that made my day.
I always love it when people read my books and find out that the "Persona" and the "Writer" are two different entities.
**Crystal make sure I know who you are at the LA event, so you can get FREE goodies, sister.
People ALWAYS love my books and are surprised that I actually CAN REALLY WRITE. LOL

Sisgal,
I loved reading your novel "DEVIL IN THE MIST" and we should remind people that....IT IS.....coming out in the next few months, although the release date has been delayed twice.
My book "Flesh and the Devil" came out 2 months LATE last year and Chris Hayden's book was about 3 months later than originally scheduled (Oct.)--didn't hit til end of December.....but that's par for the course....even the major publishing houses do this quite often, delaying and then re-scheduling release dates on projects. DOOR OF KUSH does such a beautiful job with "production" and never CANCEL projects (as some small indies do), so I can't really complain.
What people can do to really support Sisgal NOW is to Pre-order the book so that the Distributor will stock it immediately when it is released...it also shows the publisher that people are waiting on it. She could really use some Pre-orders at Amazon.
DEVIL IN THE MIST is a FABULOUS biological thriller--very thrilling, fast paced and sexy.
Everyone will be proud of Sisgal and you'll all get to see how PRETTY she is.
Here's a link.
