Sudanese president in Saudi Arabia to perform pilgrimage
November 14, 2010 (KHARTOUM) – The Sudanese president Omer Hassan Al-Bashir has arrived in Mecca on Sunday to perform Haj during the annual season for the world’s largest religious gathering.
The International Criminal Court (ICC) issued an arrest warrant for Bashir in 2009 for war crimes in Darfur and added genocide to the indictment this year. Bashir rejects the charges saying they are part of a Western conspiracy to topple his regime.
However, he faces no arrest risk in Saudi Arabia which is not a member of the ICC and therefore not obliged to act on the warrant. He has traveled to the Arab country a number of times after the indictment.
The ICC has no police force and is reliant on member states to enforce its orders. Al-Bashir refuses to recognize the court’s authority and has vowed to never turn himself in.

Bashir is close to Mecca but he is still far from God(Allah).

Mecca will never save you from ICC. The people you have killed are also created by the same GOD you are going to meditate for forgiveness. If GOD forgive you for the life of millions you have killed without direct forgiveness from those killed; Then Bashir you God must be different God from the God who created the victims.

Which god the fugitive president Al-Bashir is worshiping? For sure; his god of genocide but not Allah the creator of heaven and earth. But who told him that his sins are forgivable.
