Ahmad Hussein, spokesman for the Darfur rebel organization Justice And Equality Movement (JEP), has accused the Arab League of racism.
The accusation came after the Arab League defined the JEP as a terrorist organization.
Hussein said that the Arab League was forgetting that it was the Khartoum government that used terrorism against the women and children of Darfur, and underlined that League representatives had never visited the Darfur refugee camps because it practiced racial and national discrimination against some members of the Sudanese people.
He called on the Arab league to boycott the Sudanese government and to demand that it hand over those suspected of war crimes to the International Criminal Court.
