Black Americans Campaign to Save Kola Boof's Life

 

Press Announcement by Solomon Amadou Sept. 26, 2002

Dear Friends, Sudan's Arab Muslim government has declared fatwa on Kola Boof today following a very vicious article written by a Sudanese government official (diplomat Gamal Ibrahim) in London's largest Arabic daily newspaper.

Fatwa  basically means that the government will handsomely reward the person or group that KILLS Kola Boof for the crime of "blasphemy" against Islam. There is something small but effective that you can do to stop her assassination, however.  You can write a letter or an email (both addresses below) directly to Boof's killers--the National Islamic Front c/o Peter Gordon in London, UK. 

As these letters or emails pour in by the dozens, Sudan's NIF will realize that killing Kola Boof will only give the Arab Muslim government of Sudan more negative publicity.  This is important to them . . . because they have spent many decades cultivating a relationship with African Americans and have managed to convince many Black Americans that Arab Islamic governments (such as Sudan, Libya and Egypt) adore Black people and consider the Black man as their "Brother."

Any African from either of those countries would tell you otherwise.  There is chronic slavery in Sudan and continuing "ethnic cleansing" (2 million Nile River Southerners have been eliminated so far).  You must understand that many dark brown people in Sudan (the color of Kola Boof) do not consider themselves African, they claim to be "Arab" (many Nubians straighten their hair and convert to Islam just to stay alive!). 

When we say "African", we mean those Sudanese who call themselves Africans, the Blue Blacks of the Southern Nile. We remind you that Kola Boof was adopted and raised by an African-American couple in Washington, D.C. and that they are praying for your support. 

Many AA's who know Kola Boof--regard her as one of their own. Please take time out to write a short note expressing your displeasure...your protest...against the assassination of Kola Boof by writing either a letter or email to:

NIF (National Islamic Front) c/o Peter Gordon  / Al Sharq Al awsat 184 High Holborn / London WC V1 7AP United Kingdom

or send an email (which is quicker!) to: alrashed@asharqalawsat.com / Kola Boof's official website: http://www.kolaboof.com/

Thank you sincerely, Solomon Amadou
