The famous Canadian human rights advocate Louise Arbour condemned the ethnic massacres that are happening again in Darfur, after two decades of documenting almost identical war crimes when she was the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights.

According to the former Supreme Court Justice, Western countries, including Canada, have no choice but to welcome more refugees and migrants.

The fighting that erupted in Sudan four months ago has resulted in the deaths of 4,000 people, including 500 children.

According to UNICEF, a Sudanese child is killed, injured, or assaulted every hour. Most of the victims are in the Darfur region of western Sudan, where non-Arab ethnic groups known as the Zaghawa, meaning blacks, live, while their attackers are generally members of lighter-skinned Arab nomadic ethnic groups.

The Janjaweed is the name given to the Arab militias created by then Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir to fight the separatist militants in Darfur. The unspeakable atrocities committed against civilians have drawn the world's attention.

During her second visit in 2005, Louise Arbour met women carrying their children far away from their bodies, as if they were carrying something disturbing, because these were children whose names the women did not mention as they were Janjaweed children, born as a result of mass rapes.

The Canadian rights advocate, who also served as the chief prosecutor for the tribunals for the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda, alerted the international community to the severity of the crimes being committed in Darfur, and in 2009, the International Criminal Court finally charged the president.

However, the former president, who lost power in 2019, has not yet been tried. Arbour clarified that many African leaders have rallied against the International Criminal Court, making it more difficult to hand over Bashir to the ICC.
