The Arab league's observer mission to Syria has come under scrutiny after it emerged that the team was being led by a Sudan army general, Gen. Mohamed Ahmad al-Dabi, who has been accused of genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity in the 1994 Darfur genocide.
Ahmad al-Dabi served as the military intelligence chief in Sudan's army and was responsible for the western province of Darfur in the late 1990s, where he allegedly recruited and armed Arab militias.
The ICC (International Criminal Court) has issued an arrest warrant.
Omer Ismail, a Sudanese analyst with the anti-genocide group, the Enough Project, said,
“He was one of the architects of the genocide in Darfur. Instead of going to Syria, he should be investigated by the ICC and held accountable for his deeds.”
