SUDAN INSIGHT ALERT: New York Times - Sudan's Ousted Leader is Sentenced to Two Years for Corruption
The New York Times cover reactions to Omar al-Bashir being sentenced to two years for corruption.
Galal Yousif, a Sudanese artist who played a prominent role in the protests said that trying al-Bashir on corruption charges rather than human-rights abuses doesn’t amount to “real justice” for those he victimized, leaving “no one satisfied.”
Jonas Horner, a Sudan expert with the International Crisis Group, added that “the financial crimes are secondary for many Sudanese,” particularly in Darfur and the peripheral regions who want “ to see him held accountable for crimes that are far more violent and damning.”
