Together Again: Bashir and Hilal

The butcher of Darfur has been appointed to a prominent government post, and Omar Al-Bashir is spinning like a record player:

President Omar al-Bashir of Sudan on Monday defended a government appointment for an Arab sheik accused of leading a militia that helped the government suppress a rebel movement in the Darfur region, leading to 200,000 deaths.

On an official visit to Turkey, Bashir described the sheik, Musa Hilal, as a Sudanese citizen who is influential in Darfur and has "contributed greatly to stability and security in the region," Reuters reported from Ankara, Turkey's capital.

"We in Sudan believe that those accusations against Mr. Hilal are untrue," Turkey's state-run Anatolian News Agency quoted Bashir as saying. "Right now in Darfur, the real murderers are those who are aided by Europe and others."

Musa is believed to be a leader of the janjaweed, Arab militia forces that have committed mass killings of civilians in Darfur. The conflict has also displaced 2.5 million people in less than five years.

Glad to hear President Bashir is concerned about the "real murderers."
