, President Omar Al-Bashir has left Nigeria , following a massive call for his
arrest based on charges of genocide in Darfur. President Al-Bashir who was
billed to give an address at the AU SUMMIT, but was absent to give his
presentation.

arrest Mr Bashir and hand him over to the International Criminal Court (ICC) for
this crime against humanity .Mr Bashir was in Nigeria for an African Union-organised health summit due to end on Tuesday.
Sudan's embassy in Nigeria said he left because he had another engagement.
The ICC issued an arrest warrant for Mr Bashir in 2009, accusing him of committing genocide during the 10-year conflict in Sudan's Darfur region
