This is an incredible intrusion of a sovereign country when indicting a president of a country. Any body could have indicted George W Bush for the hundreds of thousands who were killed in Iraq? Any one would indict the president of Israel for the massacre of thousands of Palestinians in Gaza and blowing united nation hospital sand schools?
In a challenge to one of Africa's most defiant strongmen, the International Criminal Court on Wednesday issued an arrest warrant for Sudan's president on charges of war crimes in Darfur, a quest for justice that immediately complicated relief efforts for hundreds of thousands of people and raised the specter of more violence.
A three-judge panel found that President Omar Hassan Ahmed Bashir "intentionally directed attacks against an important part of the civilian population of Darfur, Sudan, murdering, exterminating, raping, torturing and forcibly transferring large numbers of civilians and pillaging their property,".
