Washington (AFP) – The United States expressed concern Monday that Sudan’s President Omar al-Bashir plans to visit China, despite his International Criminal Court indictment for alleged war crimes in Darfur.<\/p>\n

The Sudanese foreign ministry said Sunday that Bashir would travel to meet his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping and attend September 3 celebrations marking Japan’s defeat in World War II.<\/p>\n

Speaking in Washington, US State Department spokesman Mark Toner told reporters the United States continues to believe Bashir should not be welcome to travel until he faces justice.<\/p>\n

“As you know, he’s been charged by the ICC — the International Criminal Court — with war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide,” he said.<\/p>\n

“Warrants for his arrest remain outstanding and we strongly support the ICC’s efforts to hold accountable those responsible for those acts,” Toner added.<\/p>\n

“We oppose invitations, facilitation or support for travel by persons subject to outstanding ICC warrants.”<\/p>\n

The International Criminal Court indicted Bashir over war crimes and crimes against humanity in 2009 and on genocide charges in 2010, all relating to the conflict in Sudan’s Darfur region.<\/p>\n

He has since regularly travelled to Sudan’s neighbors but rarely makes long-distance trips that could see him exposed to possible arrest.<\/p>\n

He last travelled to China, which has significant interests in Sudan’s oil sector and supports his government, in 2011.<\/p>\n

China and the United States are not signatories to the ICC but both are permanent members of the UN Security Council, which referred the Darfur case to the court.<\/p>\n

The Darfur conflict erupted in 2003 when ethnic insurgents rebelled against the Arab-dominated Khartoum government, complaining of marginalization.<\/p>\n

It has left 300,000 dead and some 2.5 million displaced, according to UN figures, and Bashir’s forces have been accused of large-scale atrocities against civilians.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
