Voice of America: Groups Welcome Appeal of Genocide Charges against Sudan's Bashir. Reactions to Wednesday's International Criminal Court (ICC) appeal of genocide charges against Sudan's President Omar Hassan al-Bashir range from a broadside against the U.S. government by Sudan's foreign ministry, to measured comments from members of the American anti-genocide community. In Washington, the president of the largest organization in the alliance, Jerry Fowler of the Save Darfur Coalition, said that Wednesday's ruling rectifies legal errors that will provide hope to Darfur victims and rebel groups, but will not likely alter the pace of current peace talks in Doha, Qatar or influence the conduct of April presidential elections in Sudan.

Time: Is Sudan Moving Back to the Brink of War? Sudan enters 2010 poised between war and peace- in Darfur, in its decades old conflict between north and south, and in a host of smaller internal conflicts. The largest country in Africa and home to some of its largest oil reserves, the country faces a general election in April, an independence referendum in the south a year from now, and the indictment by the International Criminal Court (ICC) of its president, Omar al-Bashir, on war crimes charges.
