“Give us this day our daily bread, whatever about justice”
Well things were getting a bit more interesting with a UN car hijacked at the entrance of the International Guest Compound, five men with AKs walked up and took the car as it was about to drive in thru the gate. Also last week a woman was leaving a NGO house after a party and man with a pistol tried to stop her but she managed to accelerate and get away.
This week things could get a bit messy the President of Sudan Omar al-Beshir may be charged as a war criminal by the ICC that is the International Criminal Court on Monday. What happens after that nobody has a clue, so the UN and NGOs are holding off sending people out of Khartoum and quiet preparations are being made to get people out of the field.
A Quote I got from the internet was---
The African Union's Peace and Security Council (PSC) "expressed its strong conviction that the search for justice should be pursued in a way that does not impede or jeopardize efforts aimed at promoting lasting peace..."
Sounds fair/good/reasonable but Sudan has been a mess for over 25 years and Darfur since 2003 if the charges are laid it will be a tremendous shift in legal precedence as a Head of State has not been charged with War Crimes while still serving.
Of course a lot of Arab and African leaders will be taking a great deal of interest in these events. As is the humanitarian community. Of course the problems for the people in the fields be it Darfur or south Sudan is whether the hijakings will continue to be bloodless or not, if the Head of State is charged.
