عندما اكتشفت شركة شفرون النفطية الأميركية حقولا للنفط جنوبي السودان عام 1978 و في وقت كانت الولايات المتحدة الأميركية قد ثبتت أقدامها في وادي النيل العربي بقطريه المصري و السوداني بعد انضمام نظام السادات الى فلكها السياسي و تكريس تحالفها مع نظام النميري, كانت معالم تمرد واسع النطاق ترتسم في جنوب السودان يقوده المقدم جون قرنق من أجل المساواة و الحقوق. و مع اكتشاف النفط أعادت حكومة النميري رسم حدود الولايات الجنوبية بهدف احكام قبضتها على الحقول النفطية و هو ما أجج حالة التمرد و الشعور بالغبن في الجنوب و دفع قرنق الى اعلان المنشأات و الحقول النفطية أهدافا مشروعة لهجمات قواته. و هكذا كان النفط و تقاسم الثروة قبل المسائل الاثنية و الدينية اساسا للحرب الأهلية السودانية بين الشمال و الجنوب. و دفعت هذه الحرب و استهداف المنشأات النفطية الشركات الى الفرار و توقف ضخ النفط و لم يستطع السودان الاستفادة من ثروته الجديدة

I recently received a phone call from an Australian man who identified himself as an investigator for the prosecutor at the International Criminal Court (ICC) at the Hague, Netherlands. The investigator and his colleague had read my story, “Merchant’s of Death: Exposing Corporate Financed Holocaust in Africa,” and they wanted my cooperation to provide more detailed evidence about the warlords behind the massacres at Bogoro, Congo, described briefly in my story.

After some weeks of back and forth discussions and me revisiting notes and photos to see what I had, I sent them an email at the definitive moment, when they were hoping to receive a brief “dossier” about the specific case—which they said “had generated a lot of interest” at the ICC—and I shared my uncertainty about the ethics of collaborating with an “International Criminal Court” that was only indicting black Africans. I indicated my concern for the witness ‘Sandrine’, a young girl discussed in my story who named names of commanders, dates of executions, and who herself used a machete in an ethnic massacre and was raped by militiamen. I noted that witnesses identified for the Rwandan Tribunal (ICTR) had been murdered or mysteriously disappeared, and noted my awareness of the injustice of the Tribunals for Yugoslavia and Rwanda, and the disconcerting trajectory of the ICC.

The indictment of Omar Hassan Al Bashir formed another mile stone in a long chain of manifested hypocrisy of the west on matters of Justice and international law.

After witnessing the massacre in Gaza where crimes against humanity were committed by the Zionist state “Israel” without that the international community takes any concrete steps to indict the war criminals, we were not amused to see the international criminal court indicting a president of a sovereign Arab state based upon, to say the least, very feeble evidence.
