Sudan has decided to send its ousted president to The Hague
The Government of Sudan has agreed to comply with the request of the International Criminal Court (ICC) and to extradite wanted persons. The decision was made during peace talks between the Sudanese government and rebel groups in Darfur. According to the BBC , the decision makes it possible to send former President of Sudan Omar al-Bashir to The Hague, where he will be charged.
Al-Bashir ruled Sudan from October 1993 until April 2019, when he was ousted by military coup and arrested. He is charged with genocide and war crimes committed during the 2003 interethnic conflict in southern Sudan. About 300,000 people were killed in the war.
A Sudanese government official said on February 11 that "justice cannot be restored unless we heal wounds." According to Hassan Eltaish, the government has decided that everyone on whose behalf the arrest warrant was issued will be taken to the International Criminal Court in The Hague.
Al-Bashir declined to acknowledge the authority of the court when charges were brought against him in 2009 of crimes committed in Darfur.
