Swede Ian Lundin and Swiss national Alex Schneiter are accused of asking Sudan's government to make its military responsible for security at the site of one of Lundin Oil's exploration fields, which later led to aerial bombings, killing of civilians and burning of entire villages, according to the prosecution.

A scenario that happens a lot. I really hope this case sets a precedent. Western global corporates exacerbate (or even incite) way too much regional conflict.

We can't prosecute people in the US just because they're complicit in war crimes, too much of our economy is dependent on the war crimes sector.

I doubt that even if they are found guilty they’ll suffer much consequences. A paltry fine and a ban from being a company director for a few years, probably.

They deserve nothing less than to be turned over to the people of Sudan for justice there.

I hope they get what they deserve. A lengthy prison sentence. Maybe that will send a message to these cunts that their time is almost up.
