Sudan yesterday blamed ‘Africa’s enemies’ for a failed legal bid to arrest President Omar Hassan al-Bashir while on a visit to South Africa for an African Union Summit, a Reuters report has said.
“The participation could have been normal and without a fuss, but Africa’s enemies, Sudan’s enemies and the enemies of peace-loving countries wanted to try and turn it into a drama, to prevent the president from important participations,” Foreign Minister Ibrahim Ghandour said shortly after Bashir arrived back in Khartoum.
