The International Criminal Court (ICC) has issued an arrest warrant for President Omar Al Bashir of Sudan for war crimes and crimes against humanity. His response: rally protection in Africa and the Middle East by calling the decision a western crusade and terrorise and punish Darfurians by banning humanitarian agencies.
Al Bashir has nothing to lose and is poised to unleash more horror unless regional leaders help the ICC bring him in. Regional public opinion holds the key to justice for Darfurians and to lasting peace in Sudan. Let's expose Al Bashir's atrocities in the media so that leaders feel morally obliged to help the ICC uphold international justice.
Avaaz will launch ads on regional cable TV to encourage leaders to end years of brutality and suffering.
