Sudanese President is Charged with Genocide

We are one step closer step closer to Saving the people Darfur!

International Court accuses Sudan President Omar al-Bashir of trying to wipe out Darfur tribes.

Filing charges Monday against Sudan's President Omar al-Bashir, the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court said the Sudanese leader had developed a new way of perpetrating humanity's ultimate crime. "Al-Bashir is executing this genocide without gas chambers, without bullets, without machetes," prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo told reporters at The Hague-based court. "The desert will do it for him. It is a genocide by attrition."

Moreno-Ocampo filed 10 charges against al-Bashir related to a campaign of extermination the U.N. says has claimed 300,000 lives and driven 2.5 million people from their homes. Those who survive are preyed upon by the government-backed janjaweed Arab militia and regular troops, Moreno-Ocampo said.

A three-judge panel is expected to take two to three months to decide whether to issue an arrest warrant against President Omar al-Bashir.

I will be forming a petition to have an arrest warrant against al-Bashir soon.

We are so close!!! Let's not give up now. This is such good news.
