I do not acknowledge the ICC

The International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague issued today an arrest warrant for Sudanese president Omar Hassan al-Bashir. He has been accused of crimes against humanity and war crimes. I welcome the attempts of brining a person like al-Bashir into justice. However, I don’t acknowledge the court, at least not until its authority is able to encompass all war criminal in the world, not only some African leaders in forgotten countries.

Carl Bildt reveals Sweden's twisted prioritizes?

The Swedish minister of foreign affairs, Carl Bildt, has his own blog; ”Alla Dessa Dagar”, where he writes about his daily activities and comments on current issues. Thus, the blog serves, partly, as a window into the Swedish government’s work and commitment in the world.

As a simple test of the current Swedish engagement(s) I searched for some keyword among Carl’s post from last two months. The number of hits for each of the keywords are displayed in the table below. I could make some elaborate analysis here, but I'm going to let the results speak for themselves.

The table shows number of hits for some searched keywords on Carl Bildt's blog (as the blog is in Swedish "Congo" and "Africa" are spelled "Kongo" and "Afrika", respectively).

We need more westerner civilian casualties!

I am just making a very obvious and not too sensational observation in connection to the bomb attacks etc. in India yesterday. The exposure this happening is getting in media and on blogs at the moment is clearly not related to the number of dead and injured, but instead related to the potential number of westerners among the victims. It is of course not surprising that each country’s media is trying to figure out how many of their own countrymen/-women are among the casualties. However, I cannot help thinking if we should not send down busloads of westerner civilians to for example Congo (DRC) and Sudan, regions that desperately need attention from the rest of the world.

Westerner civilian casualties in forgotten and overlooked conflicts is of course not the most conventional solution, but sadly probably the most effective and needed one.
