On Wednesday, July 14 at 12 pm (EST ) the Sudanese Diaspora and activists around the DC, Maryland and Virginia area will be coming to Lafayette Park (before the White House) to call on the U.S and the International community to bring Al-Bashir to justice and to ensure accountability for crimes committed in Darfur which is a necessary step towards reconciliation and sustainable peace for the people of Sudan.
Almost 2 years ago on July 14, 2008 the International Criminal Court (ICC) charged Omar Al-Bashir with orchestrating genocide against the people of Darfur and other marginalized cities in Sudan that were opposed to his regime. The charges against Al-Bashir include genocide and crimes against humanity. To date Al-Bashir has not been brought to justice or arrested for these charges and the people of Darfur and Sudan can not afford to wait any longer.
Come out and stand with the people of Sudan.
