Home girl defends the Butcher of Darfur: This letter appears in the Rochester, Minnesota Post-Bulletin:

I am a Sudanese woman currently residing in Rochester. I keep informed by the television and Internet media as to news about my home country of Sudan.

Just last week I followed the current details of an arrest warrant being requested for Sudan's president, Omar Hassan al-Bashir.

The prosecutor from the International Criminal Court announced charges of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes. I find the entire framework of the prosecutor's case to be based on false accusations set forth to incriminate Omar Hassan al-Bashir.

I make this appeal to reverse the arrest proceedings. There will be detrimental effects for Sudan, leading to the same historical events as in Iraq. Why does President Bush not take any actions to redirect the activities going on in Darfur?

President Omar Hassan al-Bashir is a strong leader for the country of Sudan. I believe he needs to remain the executive in charge so that the government structure remains strong.

I firmly disagree with International Criminal Court's arguments to incriminate the Sudanese president. Please help motivate the court to dismiss the arresting proceedings against Omar Hassan al-Bashir.

Yeah, we’ll be sure to do that.
