almasakinMissoula, March 4 (Al-Masakin)–The U.S. State Department in a press release today, in response to the arrest warrant issued for Omar Al Bashir by the International Criminal Court (ICC), affirmed that the United States “believes those who have committed atrocities should be held accountable for their crimes” and urged the Sudanese government and other armed groups to exercise restraint in responding to this development and to “ensure the safety and security of vulnerable Sudanese populations, international civilians, and peacekeepers on the ground.”
