Protesters reject military council which has taken power as a "cloned" administration - and more stories.
The toppling of 75-year-old man Omar al-Bashir as Sudan’s president has raised the possibility of him standing trial before the International Criminal Court (ICC), where he’s wanted on charges of genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity allegedly committed in Darfur.

He was the first sitting president of a country to be indicted by the ICC and the first person to be charged with genocide.

Mr Bashir, who denies the allegations, has been wanted by the ICC in The Hague for more than a decade.

The fact he’s continued to travel extensively throughout Africa and the Middle East has served to highlight the impotence of a court, which depends upon countries co-operation to actually arrest and surrender suspects.

So what hope of that happening now?

Lt-Gen Omar Zain al-Abidin, the head of the political military committee, addressing a press conference said, "Bashir will be tried in our judicial system”.

“No Sudanese will be extradited to face trial in a foreign court.”

You can understand their logic based on self-interest, some of the people still in power might be implicated in the crimes attributed to Mr Bashir, including attempts to destroy two ethnic groups loyal to rebels opposed to the Sudanese regime.

But the military did acknowledge a future civilian government might choose to deal with the matter differently.

Backdoor discussions will be taking place with various international stakeholders to obtain some international support - and the extradition of this court’s most high-profile fugitive might be a powerful negotiation card.

The African Union could be a key player here - which has consistently "defended" the former president and sought to undermine the legitimacy of the ICC.

It’s too early, and situation still too volatile, to say with any certainty whether a man whose iron grip on power was until relatively recently considered un-removable will ever find himself facing international justice.

The court is for now staying silent - in public at least.

The prosecutor is undoubtedly dusting off case files and trying to ascertain whether investigators will, for the first time ever, actually be able to visit the region to try to gather evidence of crimes that were allegedly committed years ago.
