UK Gives Visa to Architect of Darfur Genocide

HeadlineMar 14, 2006

The Observer newspaper of London is reporting the man accused of being an architect of the genocide in Darfur, Major-General Salah Abdullah Gosh, secretly visited London last week to meet senior British officials. Gosh has been accused of having recruited the janjaweed Arab militias responsible for most of the abuses in Darfur. The Foreign Office initially claimed it had issued a visa to Gosh so he could undergo 'medical treatment', but then admitted that he had also met unnamed British officials for 'discussions on the Darfur peace process'.
