CRI听力:Sudan's Bashir Faces ICC Arrest Warrant in S. Africa

A court in South Africa has barred Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir from leaving the country after the International Criminal Court called for him to be arrested at an African Union Summit in Johannesburg.

The Pretoria High Court says Bashir must stay until it rules on whether he should be handed over to the ICC.

Sudanese officials remain defiant of the court ruling.

Foreign Minister Ibrahim Ghandour says the president will return home on schedule.

For more on this, CRI's Brian Kopczynski earlier spoke with Dr. David Dorward, former Associate Professor and Director of the African Research Institute at La Trobe University, Australia.
