OMG Sudan has us by the balls! No more soft drinks!!!!11111 Roll Eyes

Basically this crazy Sudan Ambassador is threatening to cause the halt of world production of soft drinks if the U.S. doesn't stop saying that people are dying in Darfur and lift sanctions. He also actually said that "nobody" is dying in Darfur, which is ridiculous. Maybe he will be the next Bagdad Bob Smile

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/05/30/AR2007053002157. html

Crazy Sudan Ambassador

I want you to know that the gum arabic which runs all the soft drinks all over the world, including the United States, mainly 80 percent is imported from my country," the ambassador said after raising a bottle of Coca-Cola.

A reporter asked if Sudan was threatening to "stop the export of gum arabic and bring down the Western world."

"I can stop that gum arabic and all of us will have lost this," [Ukec] warned anew, beckoning to the Coke bottle. "But I don't want to go that way."

Question: If the Ambassador actually did withhold the drinks wouldn't their economy collapse? I mean, 80% must be a lot of money that they are losing. I won't be affected, i don't drink coke very often.

I think he was referring to 80% of the worlds Coca-Cola. Even so this would have an affect on their overall economy. I sense a ploy from Pepsi!

Hmm.

Well this might affect the alcohol trade, as many people like to mix their drinks with cola, like vodka and cola and so on.

Even if he does screw up his country's economy, what does he care? He's rich regardless. That's the reason politicians do these things to their countries: it won't affect them personally.

Yes, I agree. It's sad to see politicians abuse their power for personal gain and as a result, giving misery to their citizens. My question is, were they always like that or they became corrupted after taking the job?
