On Monday the militant Islamist president of Sudan, Omar Al-Bashir, said he wants all international aid groups out of the country within a year. This latest demand comes after foreign aid workers were abducted in Sudan's Darfur region last week.
Omar Al-Bashir has expelled 13 large foreign aid agencies. He has accused them of spying for an international court that issued an arrest warrant against him on March 4th, 2009 for war crimes in the western Sudanese region. Al-Bashir also shut down three local aid groups, including one of the largest local groups operating in Darfur.
Hamas, as well as Hezbollah and their mutual sponsor, Iran, spoke out strongly in defense of Sudan's Muslim extremist president. Much of the Islamic/Arabic world has been reluctant or unwilling to criticize the genocidal actions of Al-Bashir.
Here is an excerpt from USA Today regarding the latest:
Having already ousted 13 foreign aid groups from the Darfur region, Sudan's president said Monday he would expel all international aid workers from the country over the next year, a move that threatens to cut off millions from their only source of food and water.
The announcement by Omar al-Bashir, who this month became the target of an arrest warrant by the International Criminal Court for crimes against humanity relating to killings in Darfur, prompted new calls for President Obama to respond to what the United Nations calls a looming humanitarian disaster.
The United Nations has said that 1.1 million people in Darfur refugee camps will soon be without food and medicine. Sudanese troops and allied militia groups have attacked civilians in the region of western Sudan in a long-running conflict over control of the area.
A leading activist on Darfur and two members of Congress questioned Monday whether Obama's muted response to the worsening situation in the western region of Sudan matched up with his bold campaign rhetoric, which included a call for American military action to stop the government-sponsored killing.
"Why is there a disconnect between how passionate and articulate candidate Obama addressed the issue of Darfur … and what President Obama is doing now?" Jerry Fowler, executive director of the Save Darfur coalition, said Monday.

He is a barbarian. Good of you to point out the Islamists who support him.
