The arrest of Ahmed Mohamed, a 14-year-old Texas student, in mid-September for bringing a homemade clock to his high school created a nationwide debate about racism and Islamophobia in the United States. Despite facing a wave of ugly criticism, Ahmed won support from high places — President Obama tweeted his support, and the teenager is expected to be a guest at the White House this weekend.
Ahead of that that visit, Ahmed has met with another president. This meeting is a little bit more surprising.
According to the Sudan Tribune, Ahmed met with Sudanese President Omar Hassan al-Bashir in Khartoum on Wednesday evening. The Paris-based Web site reports that the teenager told reporters that he was "extremely delighted" to meet Bashir and hoped to return to visit the Sudanese president again “with a new invention and success.”
At first glance, perhaps Ahmed's journey to Bashir's presidential compound isn't so strange. The teenager has met with a variety of big names over the past few weeks. Besides, his family are Sudanese immigrants: On his Twitter account, Ahmed posted a number of images that described his visit to Sudan as a type of homecoming:
However, Bashir is no ordinary world leader. He has an outstanding arrest warrant from the International Criminal Court, for example, for allegedly orchestrating genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes in Darfur. The country he leads is under a variety of U.S. sanctions. His government harbored Osama bin Laden for five years in the 1990s. A leaked U.S. diplomatic cable published by WikiLeaks even suggested he may have secretly stolen $9 billion in oil money.
To make it even more remarkable, Ahmed's father, Mohamed Elhassan Mohamed, has campaigned against Bashir in not one but two presidential elections.

Who made a clock?
BS piled on BS piled on BS.
The old media are insane lapdogs of the muslim agenda.
It is obvious he boy made a fake bomb to test the school’s reaction.
I wonder if he gets to take it to show obama.
The coached Islamic brat who was properly detained for bringing a facsimile bomb to school is the proper description.
What a dishonest headline, typical of the Compost.
The boy was detained for making a fake bomb, which he assembled by taking the plastic hull off of a commercially made digital clock and putting it in a small case.
He didn’t “make” a clock.
But who cares about honesty or accuracy? Certainly not the Compost.
But at this point, what difference does it make?
Who made a clock?
...
Radio Shack. All the little piece of Muslim excrement did was tear the guts out of an already working clock.
He’s about American as Obama.
He took a cover off of an existing clock and paraded it through many classrooms with each of the teachers saying he should put that away.
I think by classroom 5-6 he got the attention of someone who was worried and it went from there.
I believe the dad has connections to radical Islam.
The kid was being told what to say over the phone during interviews, you could hear someone feeding what to say in the background.
Also, there is the Islamic inbreeding issue always at hand. There is the reduced IQ and this child had a bad behavioral record.
Now that he is going out of the country to visit a mass murder it is only appropriate to meet the one that has been responsible for getting killed maybe a million or more people in the Middle East, President Obama.
Arab Spring backing over people.
Red Lines.
Capitulation to Iran, Russia, China and many others.
This is a cesspool.
Some day they will blow up together.
Just your ordinary clock building kid whose father ran for the Sudanese presidency.
Makes no difference at all. This country is going the way of Sudan right now, and before long, nothing about it will matter except to archeologists.
He didn't make a clock. He took apart a clock and put it into a pencil box. There is a video of someone doing the exact same thing in 20 seconds.
The story is a lie from the beginning. The ignorant little sh*t did nothing so interesting as to actually MAKE something. He simply took apart what someone else made, and stuck it in a box.
Everyone supporting him is an idiot. Especially Idiot Obama.
He didn’t make a clock. Taking something out of its case and laying it in a briefcase is not creative. What is creative is how he and the Muslims are playing idiots.
Radio Shack
We keep getting told how much they have contributed to mankind over the centuries. They are smart! /sarc
I want to hear the story where he gets violated like every other muslime boy under 18 and see how the MSM handles that tidbit.
Call me cynical BUT
I still say that the kid went to school on 9/11 with a ‘chip on his shoulder’ looking for ANY of the American kids to create an issue with him. Maybe his father ‘pushed’ him in that direction?
If he did and the kid comes home and says ‘Pops U be wrong, those kids were nice as ever and no kid or teacher tried to put me down because of 9/11’
Since the ‘needed reaction’ (needed for headlines about Muslim/Arab injustice) the old man devised the scheme of ‘showing them’ what we are capable of and probably predicting the outcome.
Thing is, even though he went to the science teacher first (probably saw the junk by glancing at it and told him to get it out of site before he got in trouble)
Seeing GET IN TROUBLE is/was the game plan the punk toted around all day and finally in the afternoon some teacher took note of what he had and the ‘plan was launched’..
Don’t be surprised if in the near future the old man ends up saying something like
“They blow up so fast” to his wife as the kid gets the real headlines the old man was looking for.
They should have sent the little sh*t to Gitmo for a few decades.
