Judge Hans Fabricius in Pretoria issued the interim order at the
request of applicants who asked for “mandamus” against the government
to compel it to arrest president Omer Hassan al-Bashir.
Caroline James from the Southern Africa Litigation Centre (SALC),
which filed the application, told Sudan Tribune that the judge will
listen to the merits of the application this afternoon from SALC and
the government of South Africa before deciding but cautioned that
there is no time frame for when this would be concluded.
Asked what happens if the government allows Bashir to leave in
defiance of the order, James said that they may then push courts to
issue a finding of contempt against the government.

He bribed Mbeki and all the high officials of South Africa with
Oil money for the poor, but I don’t think he can bribe the whole
world. This travel was just to show defiance and toughness. I don’t
think he will travel again if he escapes this. Sudan bleeds every
minute he is in power!
