Omar Al Bashir Farce

Omar al-Bashir, the Sudanese president, has arrived in Qatar to attend the Arab League summit, defying an arrest warrant issued against him for alleged war crimes in Darfur by the International criminal court(ICC).
I have never ever thought that the Arab leader would unite someday like they did in their rejection of the international court of justice disicion in regard Bashir's indictment.
No wonder why they all sympathized with Bashir and rose to the challenge to back The star of the 2009 Arab summit, since most of them have a shady human right record.
The scale of double standard which has been employed to vindicate al bashir from his connection with crime against humanity offset a similar approach by some of the Arab participant in the Arab league along with their ally in the west concerning Gaza Carnage. The implicit justification [for rejection the ICC decision] is that because Israel got away with its massacres in Lebanon and Gaza, so should we in Darfur as it was articulated implicitly by more than high profile official as though the ordinary people whether in Darfur or Gaza are worthless in the ruling elites' calculations and that what explains Al Bashir's behavior when he expelled the foreign aid workers from darfur following his indictment for war crimes and calling them "spies" and "thieves."
Anyway, it would have been really nice if the leaders in the Arab summit encouraged a reconciliation in western Sudan to put an end to the misery instead of upholding the Sudanese president stance concerning the whole Darfur issue.

But what really sickens me in this story is the Arab mainstream media black out on the humanitarian crises in darfur leaving the Arab public unaware or the real situation on the ground, not only that but also making way for foreign agencies to report in a manner compatible with certain foreign policies.

You can help Amnesty International to stop the human rights abuses in Darfur. However, if you are suspicious of "you know", you can still send you donation through Muslim Aid.
