who sanctioned the displacement and death of millions of Sudanese from Darfur and environs.We recall the
harassment of the pro- government Janjaweed who raped women and committed numerous type of atrocities
against the population.
This is one case where we can chew kola nut and walk at the same time. We can condemn the ICC for
being suspiciously selective, in its failure to identify targeted assassinations, unmanned drones,
rendition, and so on, as unacceptable conduct, and at the same time condemn Beshir for his
genocidal atrocities. We cannot give Beshir a free pass.

Subject: USA Africa Dialogue Series - BRAVO TO CHINA FOR NOT ARRESTING PRES. BASHIR
United States of Africa 2017 Project Taskforce
2011 July 1
The Hon. Hu Jintao
President of the People's Republic of China
c/o Ambassador Zhang Yesui
Embassy of China
3505 International Place, NW
Washington, DC 20008
Dear President Jintao:
Thank you for not arresting President Bashir during his state visit to China as demanded by the International Criminal Court.
The United States of Africa 2017 Project Taskforce is in agreement with China that the West, of which the ICC is an imperialist tool, must sweep clean its own house first.
Our position is for the US, the UK and the rest of the West to prosecute their own war criminals, including George W. Bush, Dick Cheney and Tony Blair, before telling the Third World to arrest Bashir and others for the ICC.
As much as we do not condone impunity on the part of Third World governments, we categorically reject the West's and the ICC's selective application of the law.
Sincerely,
Bosire Mosi
Director of Communications
