Sudan Leader gets Egypt's support

Angela Hager

Sudan's President Omar al-Bashir has recently received support from Egypt. Bashir is currently waiting to see if he will be served with an arrest warrant by the International Criminal Court (ICC). Egypt believes that arresting Bashir, or even putting out a warrant will create further instability between the government and rebels.

Egypt wans the court to defer the arrest warrant for at least a year, giving Bashir more time to actually do something.

Up to 300,000 people have died in the six-year conflict, but Egypt believes that Bashir can continue to have "meaningful progress on the Darfur crisis."

The ICC has yet to make a decision.
