A senior government official of Uganda indicated today that Uganda is ready to arrest Sudanese President Omar Al-Bashir on war crimes charges should he ever visit the country. Apparently warrants for Al-Bashir’s arrest are already in the Solicitor General’s Office.
This is great news in light of the recent summit of African leaders denouncing, as well as criticizing the arrest warrant against Al-Bashir.
“It is a legal obligation for Uganda to arrest Bashir if he comes to Uganda,” Ocampo said.
UPDATE: Mr. Bashir was set to visit Uganda later this month. Following this report, he has now canceled his trip.
