no genocide? no racist slaughter? what a bunch of lies. right up there with hitler and cheney. and the Arab world's silence makes them as foul as american populartion silance on Iraq invastion. as israelie population silence.

If this was happening to anyone but Black people, it would have been stopped by now.

Sudan's president is a war criminal.. he comitted a crimes against humanity in Southern Sudan and 2.9 million people died there alone.. And still he is still comitting crimes in Darfur today..

This is a clear message to Melez Zenawi of Ethiopia's EPRDF. Killing, Raping destroying property of the Ogadeni Civilians will landing you to ICC. The Ethiopian leader Melez Zenawi and head of the Army must be brought to International Criminal Court for their crime against humanity in the Ogaden and State of Somalia.

Islamic armies invaded and enslaved 120 million blacks 1000 years before Europe even had people in africa. Mohammed the pedophile prophet called blacks 'demon faces' and 'raisin heads'.

blind as a...bat. Omer, the UN is as impotent as you are.

The peace process was stalled because the rebels wouldn't come to negotiation tables and its well noted, if the rebels really wanted peace and equailty why did they try to overthrow the government in May. Sudan does not recognize the ICC court and hasn't ratified the Rome Statute and its under no obligation to hand over any citizen.

We have a judicairy in Sudan and 16 people have been exected for crimes in Darfur but the minister is innocent and rightfully deserves to be promoted

What genoicide you idiot, the UN went twice to Darfur and everytime it came it said there was no Genocide the only country in the world that has called a genocide is the U.S now why is that, not even western Europe called as such so please get your facts straight

[Lolorele]

It so absurd, the peace process was stalled long before the indictment was made and with no relation to it at all. The security council has to support the ICC, and demand Sudan to protect de relief forces, and also to surrender the two previous indicted militars, since they didn't do this, and one of them got even a promotion within sudanese government.

The solidity of the proofs is to be evaluated by the pre trial chamber, which will decide whether to grant the warrant of arrestment or not.

the christian west, & israel are just as guilty.

[thesageofdubai]

You are a rather stupid person for making such a statement. I am sure that your massive brain could not have come up with a better statement so therefore I would be an unfair battle to verbally joust.

[Omer698]

Those 2.9 million were in the hands of Garang and his infighting with Riech Machar and Lam Akol as they sought to overthrow him and the DINKA criminals exterminated the Nuer Tribe because they would not sign with the SPLA.

So please don't talk about Darfur because I know personally they hate southerners for how they sold out their country
