A top opposition leader called Saturday for Sudan to join the International Criminal Court which has indicted its ousted president Omar al-Bashir, as protesters and the military met to discuss the civilian rule.
Bashir was ousted by the army on April 11 after months-long protests that rocked his three-decade-old rule. Mahdi, who said his party would not join a civilian transitional government, told reporters “it is possible to agree on a civilian authority with the military council because they did not plan a coup”.Mahdi also said Sudan should “immediately” join the Hague-based International Criminal Court where Bashir is wanted for genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity for his alleged role in the conflict in Darfur.Bashir, 75, has consistently denied the charges against him.
Mahdi, who was ousted by Bashir in the 1989 coup, said Saturday that although the president had been removed, his regime was still in place.“The toppled regime might still try to do a coup,” he said without elaborating.
