A Pretoria High Court Judge, Hans Fabricius, has ordered Sudanese President, Omar Al-Bashir to remain in South Africa.

CHANNELS TV reports that the court says President Bashir will have to stay until it hears an application later on Sunday on whether he should be handed over to the International Criminal Court (ICC).

A Sudanese presidency spokesman however told Reuters news agency that the president would be leaving South Africa later on Monday.

The aide said, ''President Bashir is still in Johannesburg but we are leaving South Africa today''.

President Al-Bashir is wanted by the ICC for committing war crimes and crimes against humanity during the Dafur, Sudan Conflict and is South Africa to attend the African Union Summit.
 
This is a simple matter. South Africa cannot arrest Al-Bashir while the AU summit is still on.
