YES GEN Al-BASHIR! Show the world that you are not cowed by these meaningless allegations. It is time that all Sudanese wise up to plot to hurt the progress Sudan has achieved under President Bashir. He should be nominated for the Noble Peace Prize for ending the longest war in the Africa and world. Not indicted on charges that would never stand in a goat court let alone ICC.

Hey Africans Leaders,
There used to be some wise says in Africa like ” he who do walk with a thief is too a thief”, a fugetive Bashir in now comfortable with and you know his leadership status, does his presence among you show that you do not care about any crime that a leader commited in his country or does it means that you know nothing about his leadership status?
Bashir is a war criminal and the only place for the criminal is jail. Gangs up with Bashir in that summit but the Almighty God shall never forgive Bashir and his like.
Be Blessed,
Deng Akol Agut-tungduon, a man far away from tribalism.
