The ICC Review Conference in Kampala (31 May – 11 June)
The Law is an Ass
When it comes to Sudan, law is not an ass (as the British saying goes) it is a cunning and tricky fox.

Abyei and Lubna A. Hussein
It is already eight days since The Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague declared its ruling about the Abyei dispute in Sudan. It upheld seven of the 11 objections to the report of the Abyei Boundary Commission of 08. The ruling was significant because it was balanced; both sides had something to celebrate and say: we were right. The area was the scene of violent clashes in the past and many observers feared a rekindling of the civil war from the embers in Abyei.

The Murdoch press, which in the past has sent a senior editor of the Times to Chad in order to encourage the Darfur rebels and even suggest better attack strategies is perhaps too disappointed to comment on a well-balanced ruling and the absence of a violent reaction or confrontation.
