ICC chief prosecutor arrives in Sudan

KHARTOUM, 22 August 2022, (TON): The International Criminal Court’s chief prosecutor Karim Khan has arrived in Sudan, state media reported in the country still wracked by unrest since the 2019 ouster of its leader accused of genocide.

The state news agency SUNA said “the ICC prosecutor and a court delegation will hold a number of meetings with senior officials and he will be visiting the Darfur region.”

Khan’s visit will continue until Aug. 25, SUNA said, a year after he visited the country for talks on outstanding arrest warrants over crimes committed during the 2003 Darfur war under ousted President Omar Bashir.

His visit this year is the third by an ICC prosecutor to Sudan since Bashir’s ouster in April 2019.
