Omar al-Bashir

As a politician, I worked very, very hard in order to maintain the unity of our country. That was my aim.

Mahatma Gandhi went from Africa to India, and once India won its freedom, it helped African countries to get their independence.

India has always stood with Africa on the freedom struggle against colonial powers.

In Sudan, we have been targeted by western countries because we have rejected their hegemony on Sudan and turned their companies away that were only interested in oil.

We have judicial system in Sudan. Anyone who committed a war crime, anti-human crime, or any other crime will be locked up.

I'm looking forward to the time they describe me as the former president. And, of course, there are pressures from my own party and other Sudanese parties also, and I succumb to those pressures, but I hope as soon as possible I can find an exit out of this.

I started since 1996. From that time, whenever there is an opportunity, I would tell the people it is time for me to go and live as peaceful as possible a life as a normal citizen of the country.

Any government in the world, when facing an armed rebellion, has a constitutional, legal, and moral obligation to resist these militants.

As a government, it is our responsibility to maintain security for all citizens in Darfur.
