Today the International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for Omar. He may not get thrown in the slammer for a while but he is definitely on his way. At last. First time its happened to a sitting head of state. This has upset a lot of big wigs like the Chinese* leadership and other ruling princes of darkness.
Al-Bashir is not just responsible for the Darfur horrors. He was also a leader behind the Muslim war of extermination waged against the Southern Sudanese Christians and Animists. That little jihadic episode that preceded Darfur, involving mass murder, mass rape, mass forced conversions to Islam and wholesale enslavement, cost a conservatively estimated 2 million lives. This wretched criminal is not the only nasty in the Khartoum regime but taking him down is an excellent start.
Oh, and lets not forget that when the Arab Muslims of Khartoum go for the local Black Muslims of Darfur they are not inspired by racism alone. Again when they go for the Black Christians and Animists of South Sudan it's not just that nice old mix of racism and religious bigotry that stokes their barbarism. There is in both cases an added big dollop of simple greed. In Darfur its for land, in the South its land and petroleum resources.
Congratulations to the ICC's chief prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo.
*The Chinese are not just scared of tyrannical rulers like themselves being brought to justice, they are also major investors in the developement of oil fields stolen by the Muslims of Khartoum from the South Sudanese Animists and Christians.
