Omar Hassan al-Bashir, the first sitting president to be charged by the International Criminal Court, responded to his indictment over the conflict in the western Darfur region by ordering 10 foreign aid agencies to leave Sudan. The ICC has no powers of arrest and relies on national police forces to hand suspects over. Some analysts fear the warrant could further destabilize Sudan. Authorities accused the aid groups of passing information to the ICC on alleged atrocities in Darfur, center of the world's largest humanitarian operation, and one aid official said at least three more agencies may be sent home. The agencies expressed outrage, denying any links with the ICC and saying their expulsion put thousands of lives at risk. Bashir said the Hague-based ICC was a tool of imperialists targeting Sudan for its oil, natural gas and other resources. "We have refused to kneel to colonialism, that is why Sudan has been targeted ... because we only kneel to God," he told a crowd outside the Republican Palace. Cheers of "We are ready to protect religion!" and "Down, down USA!" from the protesters interrupted his speech. Washington has welcomed the ICC warrant. Some in the crowd carried banners branding the court's prosecutor a criminal and after his speech Bashir, 65, danced along to nationalist songs, waving his cane in the air. CHINA CALLS China, a major investor in Sudan's oil which has sent peacekeepers to Darfur, urged the U.N. Security Council on Thursday to heed calls from African and Arab countries and suspend the case against Bashir. The African Union (AU) said it would send a high-level delegation to press the Security Council to delay the indictment for a year to give the peace process in Darfur a chance. It also appealed to Sudan to maintain peace and protect both its citizens and the organizations helping them. Western powers with permanent Security Council seats have made clear they will veto any postponement for now. Sudan expert Alex de Waal said the indictment could wreck delicately balanced peace efforts between north and south Sudan and in Darfur in his blog (http:/www.ssrc.org/blogs/darfur/). Continued...
