The mass rapist of Sudan

Times:

The United Nations today accused the Sudanese government of being directly involved in the mass-rape of girls and women in the crisis-hit region of Darfur — a damning indictment of the part played by the country's Islamist dictatorship in the humanitarian catastrophe.

A report by the UN high commissioner for human rights says it has evidence that the Sudanese Army was involved alongside Arab militia in looting at least three towns, raping girls and women and killing at least 115 people.

The attacks on Sirba, Sileia and Abu Suruj on February 8 by helicopter gunships and aircraft caused 30,000 to flee their homes, Louise Arbour, the UN high commissioner for human rights, said in her report.

The study is the latest authoritative UN report, based on eye-witness testimonies and evidence from aid workers, suggesting that President Omar al-Bashir's administration is providing help and support to the brutal Arab janjaweed militia, who have reportedly robbed villages and murdered, raped or displaced their residents.

Of course he is involved. Ever since the Islamist supremest took over Sudan in the early 90s the country has lurch from one war crime and genocide to another. First it was the Christians in the south, then the blacks of Darfur and lately it has engaged in attacks on Chad. Sudan has a corrupt and immoral government made up of thugs, murderers and rapist. Its crimes against it people are unimaginable if there were not so much evidence left in their wake.

The UN has been impotent in the face of these crimes as has the multilateral approach favored by liberals.
