KHARTOUM/JUBA (Reuters) - Sudan’s government and rebel groups in Darfur agreed on Tuesday that all those wanted by the International Criminal Court (ICC) should appear before the tribunal, but a lawyer for ousted president Omar al-Bashir rejected the plan.

Bashir, who was toppled after mass protests last year, is wanted by the ICC for war crimes, genocide and crimes against humanity, but Information Minister Faisal Saleh did not specifically name him when announcing the move.

The government and the rebel groups reached an agreement during a meeting in South Sudan’s capital Juba that included “the appearance of those who face arrest warrants before the International Criminal Court”, said Mohamed al-Hassan al-Taishi, a member of Sudan’s sovereign council.

This refers to the crisis in the 2000s in the Darfur region. Awful things were done, and should be punished.

When will the decades of genocide and religiocide by Sudan against people in what eventually became the nation of South Sudan be recognized, prosecuted, and punished? That was a rhetorical question, because the UN supported and enforced those atrocities.

Darfur was Arab-Muslim-on-black-Muslim atrocities. South Sudan was Arab-Muslim-on-black-Christians-and-animists.
