Bashir has done it again ... the despicable aspect of his most recent publicity stunt is that he is cutting ALL aid from Darfur. That includes local Sudanese aid work, too. Like we needed more proof of the genocide against people in Darfur ...

Sudan to 'expel all aid groups' President Bashir on top of a vehicle gestures to army soldiers during a military rally in Khartoum 16 March Mr Bashir had already ordered 13 large foreign aid agencies to stop work Sudan's President Omar al-Bashir says he wants all international aid groups out of the country within a year. Foreign organisations could drop relief supplies at airports and let Sudanese organisations take care of it, the president told a military rally. Sudan has already expelled 13 large foreign agencies, mostly from Darfur. Mr Bashir accuses them of spying for the International Criminal Court, which has issued an arrest warrant against him for alleged war crimes in Darfur. He also shut down three local aid groups, including one of the largest Sudanese groups operating in Darfur. If they want to bring relief, let them drop it at airports or seaports President Omar al-Bashir The United Nations said the expulsions had left millions at risk of a humanitarian crisis. Speaking to a rally of security forces in the capital, Khartoum, the president said all foreign relief groups should go. "We directed the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs to Sudanise voluntary work," he told a crowd of thousands of supporters. "Within a year, we don't want to see any foreign aid group dealing with a Sudanese citizen. "If they want to bring relief, let them drop it at airports or seaports. Let the national organisations deal with our citizens," Mr Bashir said. The move could affect the work of more than 70 organisations operating in Darfur and other strife-torn areas. Later, State Minister for Humanitarian Affairs Ahmed Haroun said that the order would not affect UN agencies. Mr Bashir did not specify how the order would be carried out, or if it would affect aid programmes in the semi-autonomous south. The earlier expulsion of 13 aid agencies, including Oxfam, Save the Children and two branches of Medecins Sans Frontieres, only affected operations in the north. The Hague-based International Criminal Court seeking Mr Bashir's arrest accuses him of orchestrating atrocities against civilians in Darfur, where his Arab-led government has been battling black African rebels since 2003. Up to 300,000 people have been killed and 2.7 million have been driven from their homes. Sudan denies the charges and says the figures are exaggerated.

As Mag pointed out, Sudan has gone about expelling a majority of the NGOs providing immediate relief to the displaced population of Darfur. This is turning out to have even worse ramifications than expected, and could likely set off a terrible famine:

quote:

Joint Darfur aid warning issued More than a million people in Darfur will go without food rations by May unless new aid agencies are deployed, a joint Sudanese-UN assessment says. It also says there could be major water shortages within two weeks. The warning follows Sudan's expulsion of 13 large foreign aid agencies, mostly from Darfur. Mr Bashir accuses them of spying for the International Criminal Court, which has issued an arrest warrant against him for alleged war crimes in Darfur. Four of the expelled non-governmental organisations (NGOs) served some 1.1 million people, the report released on Tuesday said. The assessment team toured Darfur from 11-19 March, and the report was co-signed by UN and Sudanese officials. 'Band-aid solutions' UN humanitarian affairs coordinator Ameerah Haq told journalists in the Sudanese capital, Khartoum that "the most critical needs are being filled for now". "However, by the beginning of May, as the hunger gap approaches, and unless the World Food Programme has found partners able to take on the mammoth distribution task, these people will not receive their rations," she said. The assessment also warned that "major water shortages could develop within two to four weeks, as from March 18, if fuel, incentives and spare parts are not continuously provided." Since the expulsion of aid agencies, Sudan has said Sudanese groups have been filling the gaps, denying that there is any problem with the distribution of aid. The UN's John Holmes on the aid crisis But UN humanitarian head John Holmes said the Sudanese government had not done enough, and that it had agreed in the report that gaps existed. "We and the NGOs that are left, and the government, can do band-aid solutions, can make sure there is fuel available this week, maybe provide a consignment of chlorine tablets to purify water in some places," he said. "But to replace the capacity that's gone properly will take time, is difficult, the capacity doesn't exist on the ground at the moment." The ICC accuses Mr Bashir of orchestrating atrocities against civilians in Darfur, where his Arab-led government has been battling black African rebels since 2003. Up to 300,000 people have been killed and 2.7 million have been driven from their homes. Sudan denies the charges and says the figures are exaggerated.

Unfortunately, the death toll in Darfur could merely be the beginning.

How Can We Raise Awareness In Darfur Of How Much We're Doing For Them?

the black lady is hilarious

Does it make more sense now why I have been in recent months shifting into supporting of Israel? No fucking way Bashir is getting arrested now, and he can continue on slaughtering people in Darfur and possibly soon again in the South.

Arab states are turning this into an anti-Arab Zionist conspiracy, or more of into their convenience, where they can blame Israel for everything.

Juast imagine this - a hypothetical example, not actual reality - if Cambodia was ever a member of Arab League, you can be sure they would prevent the Khmer Rouge regime from being prosecuted from crimes against humanity ...


While sadly enough, if you read it in the article:

quote:

Earlier in the day, Syrian President Assad said those who had "committed massacres and atrocities in Palestine, Iraq and Lebanon" should be arrested first.

What does ICC have to do with this? Where was this Arab League and their outcries for prosecuting war criminals when Saddam Hussein was murdering hundreds of thousands of his own people?

You see, this is all a Zionist conspiracy. Some Arab leaders will blaim their end of problems on Israel just for sake of not dealing with issues like this one.

Arab leaders back 'wanted' Bashir

quote:

Arab leaders have concluded their annual summit by showing their support for Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir who is wanted for war crimes. The Arab League said it rejected the International Criminal Court's decision to issue a warrant for his arrest. President Bashir had earlier spoken at the summit in Qatar, and won strong support from his Syrian counterpart Bashar al-Assad. They were among 17 heads of state in Qatar, but some seats remained empty. The most notable absentee was President Hosni Mubarak of Egypt. Correspondents say he is unhappy with Qatar's stance during the recent Gaza conflict. SUMMIT FACTS 17 out of 22 heads of state attending President Hosni Mubarak of Egypt is absent Sudan's president is flouting an ICC arrest warrant to attend UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon is attending Iran is not a member of the organisation Regional rifts stymie Arab summit African Union's eventful year with Gaddafi Meanwhile, the BBC's Katya Adler, in Qatar, says earlier reports that Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi had stormed out of the Arab League summit were incorrect. But, our correspondent says, Mr Gaddafi used the floor to settle old scores, criticising Saudi King Abdullah and appearing to reignite a public spat he had at the 2003 Arab summit. At Monday's opening session he called the king a British product and an American ally. But he added that he now considered their "problem" over and was ready to reconcile, drawing applause from the other delegates. The two leaders appeared to bury the hatchet with a 30 minute face-to-face meeting on the sidelines of the summit, reports said. 'Massacres and atrocities' At the end of the summit a joint statement by the Arab League said: "We stress our solidarity with Sudan and our rejection of the ICC (International Criminal Court) decision." Earlier in the day, Syrian President Assad said those who had "committed massacres and atrocities in Palestine, Iraq and Lebanon" should be arrested first. Many African states, along with Sudan's key ally China, have called for the ICC proceedings to be suspended, arguing they will hamper efforts to bring peace to Darfur. President Bashir attended the summit to thank the leaders for their support. Qatar has not signed the ICC charter, which obliges a member state to arrest those indicted by the court when they enter its territory. In his opening remarks, Syria's President Assad also spoke about Israel - saying the Arab world had no "real partner in the peace process". He said this had been demonstrated by the recent Israeli election, with Benjamin Netanyahu due to become prime minister at the head of a right-wing coalition.
