The Sudanese government allowed the family to leave the country after intense negotiations with the Italian government and the Vatican.

Even though Meriam was married to an American citizen, the United States under the heretic Obama did not take any actions to help rescue her, but instead it was the Vatican, under Pope Francis, that saved her from being killed. She and her family were taken by an Italian government plane (not an American government plane), and were flown to Italy (not America). Tony Perkins, when speaking on the plight of Meriam, and the indifference of the Obama administration, wisely lamented:

What has America done?… Where is the courage in America?

Not a matter of courage.

I'm sure our Muslim president would have preferred to see her killed.

I’m very happy this Christian woman was saved. But I am wondering what the “negotiations” entailed. (Or did I miss that info in the article?)

Fine, that is wonderful. Now how about the Pope going out on a limb for the Iraqi Christians being killed and driven out of their home by ISIS? Do you think he will do that? And what about our feckless “president,” one who has yet to address the Marine in a Mexico jail, never addressed Meriam in Sudan, and has yet to even acknowledge or care that all the American blood spilled in Iraq has been in vain. Has he even once visited his half brother living in Kenya? We have half a president, but a full time feckless buffoon and party animal. So what is new?

Wasn’t it the U.S. that took her into the embassy and had her evacuated?
