Arab League to hold crisis talks on Sudan

Sat Jul 12, 11:45 AM ET
CAIRO (AFP) - The Arab League said Saturday it will hold crisis talks on Sudan as the African Union warned that plans by the International Criminal Court to prosecute Sudanese leaders for alleged warcrimes could jeopardize peace efforts in Darfur.
The Cairo-based Arab League received "an official from the Sudanese government and examined the latest developments in the situation between Sudan and the ICC," secretary general Amr Mussa's chief of staff Hisham Yussef told reporters.
Earlier, the Sudanese ambassador to Egypt, Abdel Moneim Mabruk, told Egypt's official MENA news agency that his country had made a request to Mussa to hold crisis talks.
