Sudanese media expert warns against Zionist plots targeting the Sudan
Khartoum, Feb 25 (SUNA)- Sudanese media expert based in Qatar, Salah Khogali, has stressed that the international criminal court's allegation against the President of the Republic was not targeting the person of President Omar Al Bashir but rather the Sudan as a homeland, its people and its independence. Khogali has pointed out in the Sudan News Agency SUNA Forum on Wednesday that a Zionist plot for which a committee of thirty military, political, economic, and scholars and experts was formed with a budget of some thirty million US dollars with the aim of toppling he government in the Sudan and that the issue was not related to Darfur nor was the issue the realization of peace in Darfur. He said it was an implementation of calculated intelligence plan. He said the Israel seeks to infiltrate into Africa and that for them Sudan was a fertile land. He said for that purpose they put a three phase plan targeting Darfur, South Sudan and the Blue Nile. He said the Ocampo memo was not a legal memo but rather a group of hearsay reports that have been collected from persons who received money so that they would say what has been inculcated to them. He said this was the first time such question would be tabled before the United Nations Security Council without a charge. He said the committee probing the claims has said there was no genocide in Darfur and that the Rome protocol has clearly stated in article 12 that there would be no case until the country signs the agreement and that there should be a written consent to this effect. He said the second point was that article 17 stipulates that the court shall not look into any case of genocide or crime against the humanity when the national judiciary is qualified to handle the issue. He warned that the Zionist plot has been set to be implemented even if the Sudanese conclude an agreement on Darfur in Doha and that measures should be taken because the issue is much greater than Darfur or achieving peace in Darfur. He said it touches the Sudanese people, their dignity and their pride and that the aim is to halt development and progress. He said with genuine will Sudanese could conquer that plot. He said in case of any indictment to be issued by Ocampo the Sudanese people should manage the crisis with wisdom through operation rooms and that Sudanese should make news, demanding Britain should make a diplomatic apology to the Sudan for what its invading forces did in Karary against the Khalifah of Mahdi who was massacred while praying.
