#Sudan πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡© BREAKING: the Sudanese transitional government has announced it will hand over Omar al-Bashir to the ICC, on the charges of war crimes & crimes against humanity in #Darfur

Today is a great day for all victims of the #Bashir regime.
-the 100.000s who starved in southern Sudan
-the countless who were killed & attacked with chemical weapons in Darfur
-the Nuba children, targeted every day by antonovs
-the brave protesters gunned down in the streets

And of course this day is also a message to those who think the day will never come

As the saying goes in Lebanon:

All of them means all of them.

#Sudan πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡©: as it stands now #Bashir and others will probably not be handed over to The Hague but will appear in front of ICC representatives within Sudan
