What a Bad Way to Start the Week: Worst Monday Ever
July 14th, 2008 by Yillb
Putting the reality of the horrors of the world, particularly those revolving around genocide, and the fact that this individual may in fact be responsible, this has to be one bad Monday to start your week off: to be charged with genocide. It’s a big thing to wake up to.
President of Sudan, Omar al-Bashir has been charged by the International Criminal Court for genocide in Darfur; the first time that a sitting leader of a country has been charged with the crime.
CNN exclusive: ICC prosecutor on Darfur chargesWe request a warrant for the crime of genocide – 6a, b, and c – basically massive rapes and the condition of 2.5 million people – in addition we charged him with crimes against humanity and war crimes.
It’s nice to see an effort to do something about these terrible acts; hopefully this guy won’t be let off the hook by hiding in his country.
