World Watch: Justice for Darfur

* Sudan: President Omar al-Bashir is one step closer to being put on trial for the roughly 200,000 victims of the Darfur genocide.

* U.S.: Former secretary of state Colin Powell publicly backed the repealing of the U.S. military’s "don't ask, don't tell" policy.

* Malawi: On a more discouraging note, police arrested a Malawian who put up gay rights posters while the government keeps unjustly cracking down against homosexual activity.

* Sri Lanka: Approximately 5000 protestors took to the streets of Colombo claiming that last week’s presidential elections were rigged.
