Just when I think Sudan, after putting their foot down on international pressure and criticism, will effectively start working towards positive solutions - THIS happens.
"Sudan revoked the licenses of 13 international aid organizations on Wednesday, after the International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir for atrocities committed in Darfur" - Voice Of America
These humanitarian orgs include: Doctors without Borders, OXFAM, Save the Children, and Mercy Corps.
Thumbs up to you, Mr. President.
My issue is this: you want to ignore international criticism? Fine. You want to fight through U.S. sanctions? Okay. You want to laugh at international court arrests? Go ahead. But when you let your pride cloud your good judgment and potentially sacrifice hundreds and thousands of Sudanese lives - YOUR Sudanese lives - that's when you become less of a leader and more of a brute.
This cannot be good for anyone. This does not prove your point, nor does it make you any stronger, Mr. President. I admired certain qualities in you and your "administration" but this, this is sad.
