Tshepo Ikaneng, Egypt
The government of Sudan is hoping to stage yet another major diplomatic coup, in its bid to solicit more global support against the move by the International Criminal Court, to effect an arrest warrant against President Omar Al-Bashir.
Al-Bashir faces charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity, allegedly perpetuated against the people of the country’s south-western Darfur region. Khartoum will this week take its campaign to have its leader escape prosecution by the ICC to the Non-Aligned Movement summit in Egypt, which resumes on Wednesday.
Sudanese ambassador to the UN Abdalmaghmood Abdalhaleem said: “The prosecutor is naked now. He is desperate and frustrated, he is an insult to justice, he can never convince us that he is doing his work in an impartial and neutral manner. For the first time you have an international official singled out for criticism and deploration. He is a desperate man. For us he doesn’t deserve any respect. We are not worried by him”.
