It was the third day of demonstrations after the Hague-based court announced it was indicting President Omar Hassan al-Bashir on seven counts of war crimes and crimes against humanity, including murder, rape and torture. Up to 2,000 people massed outside the headquarters of the European Commission in Khartoum and hundreds of others were seen gathering outside mosques in other parts of the city. Crowds shouted "down, down USA" and "down, down ICC" as mosques emptied after Friday prayers. There was a heavy security presence on the streets, but the protests appeared much smaller than the mass rallies supporting Bashir in Khartoum on Thursday. Preachers in a number of Khartoum mosques gave sermons calling on Muslims across Sudan to condemn the ICC decision. Sudan is refusing to deal with the court and this week expelled 13 high-profile aid agencies, including Oxfam and Save the Children, from the north of the country accusing them of passing evidence to the court. The agencies deny dealing with the court. U.N. humanitarian agencies said the expulsions threatened the lives and health of millions of people. U.N. officials suggested it could be a breach of international law. [nL6685622] U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has called on Bashir to reconsider the move, saying the non-governmental organizations (NGOs) help 4.7 million people in Africa's biggest country. "To knowingly and deliberately deprive such a huge group of civilians of the means to survive is a deplorable act. Humanitarian assistance has nothing to do with the ICC proceedings," U.N. human rights spokesman Rupert Colville said. "To punish civilians because of a decision of the ICC is a grievous dereliction of the government's duty to protect its own people," he told a news briefing. NO FOOD, WATER, MEDICAL CARE Of the 76 NGOs in Darfur with which the U.N. is working, the 13 that have been expelled account for half the aid that is distributed in the region, said Elisabeth Byrs, spokeswoman for the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs. Their departure would leave 1.1 million people without food, 1.5 million without medical care and more than one million without drinking water, she told the briefing. "It will be very, very challenging for both the remaining humanitarian organizations and for the government of Sudan to fill this gap," she said. Continued...
