Thousands Rally in Sudan Over New War Crimes Charges / Sudan to hold crisis talks on new war crimes charges / AU warns against Bashir detention

See newer VOA, BBC, "New York Times", Reuters ("Thousands rally in Sudan against ICC move" and "ICC prosecutor set to charge Sudan's Bashir"), CNN, AFP ("Sudan to hold crisis talks on new war crimes charges", "Sudan reassures foreigners as demo slams ICC", "EU's Barroso says he warned Sudan on war crimes charges", "OIC expresses 'deep concern' over Sudan war crimes charges", "African body warns world court over Sudan prosecutions", and "ICC prosecutor to seek warrant for Sudan's al-Beshir"), Al-Jazeera ("AU warns against Bashir detention" and "Khartoum rallies to support Bashir"), AP, Xinhua ("Sudanese justice minister slams ICC move on war crimes charges", "Marches in Sudan in protest at expected ICC arrest warrant against Bashir", "Arab lawyers criticize ICC move against Sudanese president", and "Sudan reiterates rejection of ICC jurisdiction"), Press TV, Alalam, IslamOnline, LJBC, "International Herald Tribune", "Gulf Times", "Daily News Egypt", KUNA ("Sudanese govt. rejects ICC rulings" and "Sudan will deal firmly with any ICC actions - president"), DPA, UK's Channel 4, UK's "Times", UK's "Telegraph", UN News Service, and Sudan Tribune ("Darfur rebels and refugees decry attempts to suspend ICC indictments" and "Saudi columnists criticize Sudan for escalated situation in Darfur") stories that somewhat update, most recently, the stories in the previous batch.

(Separately, Sunday's "New York Times" has a "Week in Review" feature entitled "Why Darfur Still Bleeds".  Updated originally to note the new third Xinhua story.  Updated further to note the new second AFP story.  Updated still further to note the new "Daily News Egypt" story, as well as to note both Eric Reeves' latest full-length analysis and a brief "Los Angeles Times" op-ed by Mia and Ronan Farrow.  Updated yet again to note both the new third AFP story and the new second Al-Jazeera story.  Updated even further to note both the new fourth AFP story and the [first] one from KUNA.  Updated still further to note the new DPA story.  Updated yet again to note both the new story from the UK's Channel 4 and a newer version of the second AFP story.  Updated even further to note the new story from the UK's "Times".  Updated still further to note the new second Reuters story [and possibly a newer version of the first].  Updated yet again to note the new UK's "Telegraph" and UN News Service stories.  Updated even further to note the fifth and sixth AFP stories [with the fifth one being a story from Saturday that I had overlooked], the fourth Xinhua report, the second KUNA item, and the new [first] Sudan Tribune story, as well as to note a new Aegis Trust press release/advisory.  Updated [definitely] one last time tonight to note the new second Sudan Tribune story.  At this point, I probably won't be able to update at all on Monday [and also likely won't be able to on Tuesday]; for the latest, there's always the big, big batch of widget-based, Sudan-related RSS feeds.) - EJM

The Passion of the Present (the essay)


  • -

    In Darfur, a region in western Sudan approximately the size of Texas, over a million people are threatened with torture and death at the hands of marauding militia and a complicit government. Genocide evokes not only the moral, but also, the legal responsibility of the world community. Under international agreement, a nation must intervene to stop a genocide when it is officially acknowledged.

    "Officially" is the key word here. So far, no nation in the international community has "officially" acknowledged the truth: Sudan is a bleeding ground of genocide. In this void, the Sudanese government continues to act with brutal impunity.

    Thankfully, there are individuals working in human rights organizations who are watching - and witnessing - and organizing, in support of the victims in Darfur. These individuals represent, for all of us, a personal capacity to bear witness to the passion of the present; one candle lit against the darkness.

    However, before one can light a candle, someone has to strike a match: a donation to any of the human rights organizations active in Sudan, contacting your government representative, local newspaper, radio and t.v. station. Our individual activism is essential for the candlepower of witness to overcome and extinguish the firepower of genocide.

    This world has long endured wars that take lives. Let us be part of one that saves them.
