Let him who is without sin
Sudanese ambassador
July 30, 2008
I cannot confirm or deny the incidents of the meetings with our President, Omar Hassan al-Bashir, as described by Stephen Lewis (I Too Accuse Him Of Crimes Against Humanity – July 28). I, as an ambassador, don’t have the other story from the President’s or the Foreign Minister’s side. It also really astonishes me to find that someone such as Mr. Lewis, who was a high representative of the UN, can give himself all the jurisdictions of a prosecutor and a judge in the case of Mr. al-Bashir. One should ask Mr. Lewis: Does your article itself not constitute a violation of a basic principle of human rights that a person is innocent until proven guilty?
Mr. al-Bashir’s defenders, and they are many, are repeating what Jesus said: “Let him who is without sin cast the first stone.” Some refer to the crimes committed against humanity in the recent history, some to the colonial time, and others to the genocide against the first nations. Although justice is indispensable for all, it is also indivisible.
Even the annexations of Darfur (carried out by the British between 1874 and 1917) and southern Sudan (between 1874 and 1896) were resisted vigorously, with thousands of Darfurians and southern Sudanese dying in that resistance.
