DITSHWANELO press statement on African Union on Sudan

Monday, April 15, 2019

Botswana has repeatedly supported the International Criminal Court (ICC) and its call for the indictment of President al Bashir.

However, Botswana was often a lone voice due to the solidarity which other African states had with one another - even in cases of violations of human rights! In the latest case of Sudan, the people have held sustained protests aimed at the removal of President al Bashir.
