SUDAN INSIGHT ALERT: AFP – Darfuris rejoice as Sudan agrees to hand Bashir to ICC

15/2/2020: AFP – Darfuris rejoice as Sudan agrees to hand Bashir to ICC

 In a feature piece, AFP quotes from internally displaced Darfuris at Camp Kalma in Nyala, who are “overjoyed” at a pledge by Sudanese authorities to handover Omar al-Bashir to the International Criminal Court.

 Local community leader Yaqoob Mohamed said the decision was "a victory for the victims" and would go a long way towards "rebuilding trust" with the leadership in Khartoum.

 "If Bashir and his aides are not handed to the ICC, peace will never find its way to Darfur," said Hassan Issac, another Darfuri living in Kalma.

 "We were relieved when Bashir fell but now we feel like we can finally start to recover from the impact of war," said camp resident Jamal Muhammed.
