The Associated Press reports:
Syrian opposition activists are criticizing the Sudanese head of the Arab League monitoring mission to Syria for serving as a senior official with the "oppressive regime" of President Omar al-Bashir, who is under an international arrest warrant on charges of committing genocide in Darfur.
Lt. Gen. Mohamed Ahmed Mustafa al-Dabi is a longtime loyalist of al-Bashir and once served as his head of Sudanese military intelligence.
Amnesty
International said under al-Dabi's command, military intelligence in the early 1990s "was responsible for the arbitrary arrest and detention, enforced disappearance, and torture or other ill-treatment of numerous people in Sudan."

What a surprise. Does the world actually think the Arab League wants to find anything wrong? Why else would they send a notorious Commander like General al-Dabi. He supervised an extermination in his own country that make Syria seem tame by comparison. He probably thinks Al-Assad has handled the Syrians with kid gloves. I am sure he can suggest more effective ways of killing the Syrian protesters and running journalist and outside interference agencies off so Assad can get on with some serious butchering. Maybe Iran can send more advisers to Syria. They have been great at suppressing dissidents or protesters.
