SUDAN NEWS ALERT: Financial Times - Sudan to send al-Bashir for trial at The Hague

11/1/2020: Financial Times - Sudan to send al-Bashir for trial at The Hague, by David Pilling

The Financial Times’ report on the Sudanese government’s agreement with Darfuri rebels that all those wanted by the ICC should be transferred to the court, quotes from Michel Arditti, permanent secretary to Abdul Wahid al-Nour, a leader of the Sudan Liberation Movement, a rebel group fought against Omar al-Bashir’s regime.

Arditti cautioned that some al-Bashir loyalists opposed extradition, although he said there were members of the sovereign council, including General Abdel-Fattah al-Burhan, the chairman, and Himedti, might be willing to “trade him in.”
