Prosecutors allege that about 1,000 rebels commanded by or allied with Abu Garda and armed with anti-aircraft guns, artillery guns and rocket-propelled grenade launchers, attacked and killed members of the African Union Mission in Sudan (AMIS) in Haskanita. The rebels allegedly destroyed communication, installations and vehicles and looted vehicles, refrigerators, computers, cellular phones, military boots and uniforms, fuel, ammunition and money. A court panel known as "Pre-Trial Chamber I" decided Abu Garda should be charged under the Rome Statute, which established the court, for three war crimes: "violence to life in the form of murder," intentionally attacking a peacekeeping mission, and pillaging. The panel included Judge Sylvia Steiner from Brazil, Judge Sanji Mmasenono Monageng ...

He stressed, however, his government's belief that peace could not be real or sustainable without peace in the western Darfur region. With that in mind, a peace deal had been signed in May with groups in that area. "The African Union deserves thanks for sparing no effort to bring all the parties together, as did the African Union Mission in the Sudan (AMIS) for its pioneering experiment in Darfur, which served as a shining example of what regional organizations could accomplish on their own," alBashir stressed. He added that the AU deserved praise for carrying out its duties in the face of pressure from "hegemonic powers" that had designs of their own. To date the AU force has been widely criticized for their lack of "efficiency." Observers say this is mostly due to the fact that the AU...

WASHINGTON, June 23 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Working to push the Bush administration to more fully and effectively address the ongoing genocide in Sudan, Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid today hailed the passage of new legislation that will compel the Defense Department to explain its role in assisting the implementation of the recently signed Darfur Peace Agreement. The Congress and the Bush administration were right to label the atrocities in Sudan as genocide, but with the Darfur Peace Agreement signed, now is the time for engagement," said Reid. "Just yesterday, the African Union and the United Nations warned of the 'risk of major violence' in Darfur. Now more than ever, we must do everything possible to assist the African Union Mission in Sudan. This new legislation is an important ...
At least one African country, Senegal, threatened to pull out of the joint U.N.-African Union peacekeeping mission in Sudan's Darfur region yesterday, even as officials pledged the mission would not be delayed by a bloody weekend attack by rebels. Despite the casualties and loss of life, we will persevere in our efforts to keep the fragile peace on the ground while all eyes are set on the negotiation table," said Nigerian Gen. Martin Luther Agwai, commander of the hybrid peacekeeping force.
WASHINGTON, March 16 /U.S. Newswire/ -- The House of Representatives vote today to increase emergency funding for the African Union Mission in Sudan is an important step forward in the process of preventing genocide and protecting civilians in Darfur, the Friends Committee on National Legislation said today. A small African Union peacekeeping force of 7,000 is all that stands between the people of Darfur and horrific violence that has taken the lives of hundreds of thousands of people and displaced millions more in western Sudan. The president in February requested an additional $123 million in funding to support this mission as part of the emergency supplemental legislation debated on the floor of the House this afternoon. Today, House members voted 213 to 208 to increase funding for t...
SUDAN - Last week Sudanese soldiers opened fire inside a refugee camp, killing 27 people. According to reports, 100 trucks surrounded the Kalma camp where approximately 90,000 people now live after being forced from their homes in Darfur. A spokesman for the joint United Nations-African Union peacekeeping mission in Darfur said they had sent patrols to check the reports and were very concerned. Sudan's government has accused armed rebel supporters of taking refuge inside the camp while residents have accused government-backed militias of mounting a series of raids on the settlement. COLORADO - Federal charges were filed last week against three men who allegedly had plans to assassinate Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama. However none of the charges concerned threats aga...
