11/1/2020: BBC - Omar al-Bashir: Sudan agrees ex-president must face ICC

The BBC’s report on the Sudanese government’s agreement with Darfuri rebels that all those wanted by the ICC should be transferred to the court, features analysis from BBC Sudan’s Mohanad Hashim.

Hashim said there is “no guarantee that it will happen, [as] the generals may renege on the deal.”

Hashim added that “if it does happen, it is unlikely to be anytime soon,” citing that talks to end the conflict “still have a long way to go” and that the transfer of the wanted men - from both sides of the conflict - would have to be part of a broader peace deal.
