So what are they looking to amend? Deletion of Section 88, which gives the Internal Security Minister authority to &#8220;take temporary possession [...]

		<description><![CDATA[The International Criminal Court (ICC) has issued an arrest warrant for the Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir. How crazy is that? As much as this result was more-or-less expected, it&#8217;s still sort of unprecedented to apprehend a sitting president in this manner. What is not laughable are the charges levelled against him: The three judges, acting [...]
