Sudan’s capital reacts to genocide charges

Heba Aly reports on the mixed reaction in the Sudanese capital, Khartoum to news that Sudan’s president now faces genocide charges.

Throngs of Sudanese gathered yesterday in a government-organized protest against the ICC charges. This food vendor in Khartoum says President al-Bashir is not to blame. This man says the arrest of the Sudanese President would have terrible consequences. But Darfurians here in Khartoum have a different reaction, and this refugee from Darfur says the government is responsible. Whether or not Bashir is arrested, troubles seem likely to continue in Darfur.
