South Africa says it may withdraw from the International Criminal Court after
an outcry over the government's refusal to arrest Sudanese president Omar
al-Bashir on genocide charges
Sudan’s president managed to leave South
Africa in defiance of a court order - and escape possible arrest for
genocide - by not presenting his passport at the airport, according to
an official statement released on Thursday.
President Omar al-Bashir was driven to Waterkloof air base in a
motorcade escorted by the South African police, but immigration
officials apparently had no idea of his presence.
The High Court has compelled the authorities to explain how Mr Bashir was able to leave South Africa in his official jet after an African Union summit earlier this month.
