Bashir Stands before International Criminal Court

Sudan ex-president Omar al-Bashir will stand before the International Criminal Court (ICC) to face genocide and war crimes charges, according to BBC.

Authorities said the former president, and others charged by the ICC, should appear before the court.

The commitment came at peace talks between Sudan’s government and rebel groups from the Darfur region.

“Justice cannot be achieved if we don’t heal the wounds,” said Mohammed Hassan al-Taishi, a spokesman for the Sudanese government.

“We are doing what the Sudanese people asked us to do,” he added.
