SUDANESE President Omar al-Bashir danced, punched the air in delight and shouted “God is great” in his first public appearance yesterday as a war crimes suspect.
Sudan promised to turn Darfur into a graveyard as it reacted to charges laid by an international prosecutor accusing Mr al-Bashir of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes.
The threat was made by an official in Darfur after Luis Moreno-Ocampo, of the International Criminal Court, called for the arrest of Mr al-Bashir over his Government’s campaign of violence in the war-torn region.
The Sudanese Government responded with rallies and a show of defiance by the President. Mr al-Bashir appeared to have hardly a care in the world at a ceremony to mark Sudan’s new electoral law. The message was clear – in Sudan, it was business as usual. More here.
Bashir threatens to turn Darfur into a graveyard, thereby exposing himself and his goverment’s true intentions all along. They have been practicing genocide (or an even better term in ‘Democide’) for years while the hand wringing West practices a macbre game of political correctness. The Chinese and the Russians prove once more why non-democratic states (in the western sense) should never have been allowed a permanent seat on the UN Security Council, with their foot dragging and protection of the Sudanese regime. *L* KGS
