Sudanese President Omar Hassan al-Bashir is still in SA.

Al-Bashir, who is in South Africa attending an African Union summit, stands accused in an International Criminal Court arrest warrant of war crimes and crimes against humanity over atrocities committed in the Darfur conflict.

“President al-Bashir is still in Johannesburg but we are leaving South Africa today,” Mohamed Hatem told Reuters.

Judge Hans Fabricius on Sunday barred Bashir from leaving South Africa until he had made a decision on an application by a human rights group calling for Bashir’s arrest.

The judge’s hearing on the case is due to South Africa’s government has challenged the court’s decision because it has given immunity to al-Bashir and all other delegates attending the AU summit.

Sudanese officials said on Sunday that the court order had “no value” because al-Bashir was invited by the South African government.
