Abby, get a mic next time, I can barely understand his words.

[AbbyMediaRoots]

@Pertemba40 I did what I could with the equipment I had. Sorry you don't understand his words.

[Pertemba40]

@AbbyMediaRoots No problem, I know you're good and trying. I think it has to do with the emptiness of the room he's in? there's a bit of resonance that gets in the listening. Cheers.

@Pertemba40 Yea, there is a little bit of echo and he is super soft spoken. Realized after doing this that I totally need a lavalier mic, stat! Thanks for watching :)

@progress200 From the same sources, I learned that the Darfur region of Sudan also has oil, a fact Washington probably still leaves unmentioned ; only mentioning, with extreme distortion of the truth, what is and/or was really going on in Darfur. Washington secretly armed and probably also funded some of the violent groups in the region and this evidently would be to blame the violence on the govt of Sudan.

It's Washington's M.O.

And I doubt that Adeeb Yousif could know all of the details.

@progress200 One thing we can "rest assured" about is that Washington doesn't intervene anywhere for human rights and lives ; working only for Wall Street, et cetera. BUT, and according to the websites specified in my prior post, as well as some other good websites, Washington and NATO aren't only after the rich resources of African countries ; they want to dominate Africa. It's much of the resason for their creation of AFRICOM , which is also used more broadly. It's all for global dominance.

He did, a little anyway. His words aren't all easy to understand, but he mentioned natural resources and oil, or just oil, being what interests or primarily interests foreign govts. According to globalresearch[dot]ca and Keith Harmon Snow's website, consciousbeingalliance[dot]com­, Russia and China have or had oil concessions in Sudan and the US and others want to take over, as is criminally usual of them to do.

@Pertemba40 Perhaps the volume has been corrected over the past couple of months, but if nothing was done about it having been too low, then it's odd to me, for I have plenty of volume for this video clip using external speakers and the volume control on them. It's been sometimes necessary to additionally use the Windows control accessible in the Windows system tray, but not for this video clip, which only requires the control on the external speakers to be set loud enough ; for me anyway.

@AbbyMediaRoots and thanks for your work, keep it up girl! BTW, your "break your TV" videos were the top, I sent them far and wide before. Best. :-)

He didnt really say anything about why its happening.
