Sudanese president to visit Darfur on Wednesday
July 20, 2008 (KHARTOUM) — President Omer Hassan al-Bashir will visits Darfur next week for the first time since his indictment by the Chief Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court on genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes.
The governor of North Darfur, Osman Mohamed Yousef Kibir, expressed in a statement to the Sudan TV the readiness of his state to welcome al-Bashir adding that there would be an important demonstration to show the rejection of the ICC indictment against the president.
He also reaffirmed the states rejection of the allegations of the ICC chief prosecutor who is making efforts to destabilize Sudan’s unity and added that world will see how much Darfur people supporting him.
The prosecutor on Monday 14 July said Bashir had “personally instructed” his forces to annihilate three ethnic groups in Darfur region: “The crime of genocide is a crime of intention. Bashir had the intention to destroy the Fur, Masalit and Zaghawa ethnic groups,” engaged in a rebellion in Darfur, he said.
The governor of south Darfur, Ali Mahmoud, said Al-Bashir’s visit to the state discredits the allegations of the chief prosecutor of the ICC and affirms the unity of the internal front.
He pointed out that the president will open a number of development projects including an electricity project as well as a number of secondary schools. He will also tour the Niyala water project which cost the state 50m US dollars.

I think Al-Bashir’s visit to South and North Darfur is another way to ask ICC prosecutor MR, Luis Ocampo to lift three counts of genocide, five counts of war crime against humanity, and two counts of murder that was put on him last week. Anyway, Mr. Bashir try your best to do so, but make sure you visit other parts of Sudan from far South to far North and from far East to far West then extend your visit to some of your African neighboring nations such Egypt, Lybia, and don’t forget to visit your friend Chines president in Asia and Russian president in Europe then go back to Khartoum with your nice long trip.

Beshir, why now to Darfur? Rallying day and night will not affect the ICC’s indictment anyway? Arab league, African Union and Islamic Int’l Organisation will not save you because your evil soul did not leave those organisations with options to defend you. Genocide, grave crimes against humanity and serious war crimes will hang around as a witness. Your brought shame to our lovely Sudan.
