Sudan: A New Source for War

Filed under: Africa | Genocide — by Bob Zuber @ 5:50 am

Reporting for Reuters, Skye Wheeler describes a fresh series of attacks in southern Sudan by Ugandan rebels: “Kony is thought to move between camps in lawless northeastern DRC’s Garamba Forest and Central African Republic, security experts say. The guerrillas have also used bases in neighboring southern Sudan in the past.

Aid workers say his forces have raided villages and abducted hundreds of civilians in the three countries in recent months.

Kony and two of his deputies are wanted by the ICC in The Hague for crimes including massacres, rapes and the kidnapping of children as sex slaves and fighters in their insurgency.”

Words for Acts

An avidity to punish is always dangerous to liberty. It leads men to stretch, to misinterpret, and to misapply even the best of laws. He that would make his own liberty secure must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.
