The true criminals are the leaders of the United States and Europe

No-one can deny that Al-Bahir's government has failed to protect its own people in Darfur from being persecuted; alowing American, French and Israeli special forces to sabbotage and to complicate the situation. If Mr Al-Bashir had supported the USraeli war on Iraq or had opened an Israeli embassy in Khartoum, no-one would have dared to criticise him let alone put him on trial. What Al-Bashir had done directly or in-directly in Darfur is very trivial in comparison to what Israel has done to Palestinians and to other Arabs. Mr Cluster bombs, Shimon Peres, is known to have permitted the use of all weapons including cluster, nail and phosphorous bombs against civilians in Lebanon and in Gaza during the lat 30 years of being in Government. The ICC decision is not a blind justice but a one-eyed one permitted to go ahead by the Americans. Shame on ICC and on the international bodies for chasing the Sudanese flee and leaving the Israeli elephants.


Beshir remained defiant on Thursday as thousands of angry Sudanese staged a mass demonstration in Khartoum, some setting ablaze American and Israeli flags and effigies of ICC prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo.

"The true criminals are the leaders of the United States and Europe," Beshir said, charging that bodies such as the ICC were instruments of "neo-colonialism."


"The decision by the government of Sudan to expel 13 non-governmental organisations involved in aid operations in Darfur will, if implemented, cause irrevocable damage to humanitarian operations there," the UN chief's spokeswoman Michele Montas said in a statement.
