The International Criminal Court at the Hague will issue a warrant for the arrest of this man, Omar Al Bashir, president of Sudan on Monday July 14. Why has it taken so long for the world community to go after this smiling murderer of over 2.5 million people in southern Sudan (mostly Christian) and hundreds of thousands of African Muslims in western Sudan (Darfur).
I am amazed at how small time petty thieves are rounded up so quickly in our communities, but if someone is in a position of power everyone very quietly avoids confrontation. Murder is murder whether it is on the streets of Philadelphia or Wilmington or on another continent. Whether it be the killing on one or one million the guilty parties should be sought, arrested, prosecuted and then sentenced for their crimes.
This is a good first step- now who will take the next step of serving and enforcing the warrant?

I am glad to finally see this. The country won't give him up, but it's just one more thing that is drawing attention to the human rights atrocities that are being committed there. The sad thing is that most people don't give any validity to these people's deaths because they are not wealthy/middle class people from an industrialized nation, hence they don't matter. Hopefully, the Security Council issues surrounding this will get resolved and something can be done to end this.
