I illustrated the beleaguered Sudanese President Omar Hassan Al-Bashir as growing a shade darker in anger. He is furious about the International Criminal Court's decision to issue an arrest warrant for his detention. I am not sure that I can illustrate all of Darfur's problems in a single sketch, and yet the anxiety in his eyes is palpable. I illustrated President Al-Bashir as brave and defiant. He shall certainly overcome this test of wills.
