Khartoum, Sudan, Mar 11, 2009 / 01:21 am
Outspoken Sudanese Bishop Daniel Adwok Kur has come out against a change in Sudanese leadership, saying that ending human rights abuses is more important than removing the accused President Omar al Bashir.
Last week the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague issued a warrant for President Bashir’s arrest, accusing him of crimes against humanity and war crimes in Darfur in west Sudan.
President Bashir responded to the warrant by expelling 13 aid agencies, prompting international protests.
Bishop Adwok, speaking with Aid to the Church in Need (ACN), warned that a change in leadership could derail the fragile peace process in the country, especially in south Sudan.
