KHARTOUM, July 20: Arab League chief Amr Mussa headed on Sunday to Khartoum with a plan aimed at stalling possible legal moves against Sudanese President Omar al-Beshir, accused of masterminding genocide in Darfur.

Beshir was to receive Mussa, bolstered by an agreement from Arab foreign ministers to seek a political solution to the crisis sparked when the world court prosecutor sought an arrest warrant for Beshir.

Egypt’s official Mena news agency, quoting Sudanese deputy foreign minister Al Samani al-Wassila, said Mussa would suggest to Beshir “the possibility of holding an international conference.”—AFP
