Sudanese official tells Condi to lick her elbow

She can lick her elbow* if she thinks that Khartoum will kneel down to her conditions and accept pressure from her or the international community.

That's a quote from Nafi Ali Nafi, the advisor to Sudanese President Omar Hassan al-Bashir in charge of the Darfur file. "It is not clear why the Sudanese official chose Rice as a target for fierce criticism using this slang language," the Sudan Tribune dryly notes. According to the paper, to tell someone to lick their own elbow in Sudanese is to describe "something that is very unlikely to happen."

8. "It is not clear why..." maybe sexism?

My own self-avowed feminist mother tells me that she's not voting for HRC because "the Arabs won't deal with a woman." I don't know what to think about that except (something I won't type out here.)
