Luanda — A message from the president of Sudan, Omar Hassan al-Bashir, to his Angolan counterpart, José Eduardo dos Santos, was handed over on Wednesday, as part of the efforts to have the arrest warrant against Africa's biggest country's leader by the International Criminal Court (ICC) suspended.
The bearer of the message was the Sudanese minister of Tourism, Joseph Dong, who was received by the speaker of the Angolan Parliament, Roberto de Almeida.
After the audience, Joseph Dong told the press that president Omar Hassan al-Bashir is is a man of peace and had signed various accords with the rebels, in the framework of the initiatives to seek normality in Africa's largest State's Darfur region.
The Sudanese envoy had also been to Maputo, Mozambique, where he handed over a message from Omar al-Bashir to president Armando Guebuza, where he calls for the intervention of the Southern African country's leader to defend the Sudanese Government.
President of Africa's largest country, Omar Hassan al-Bashir was accused last July by the ICC of genocide in the Sudanese region of Darfur.
