UNITED NATIONS, September 28, 2010 -- The UN Security Council is, after delay and negotiations, going on a trip to Sudan, Inner City Press exclusively learned on Tuesday morning. “The US will take the floor and annouce it,” a well place source told Inner City Press.
The issue was whether Sudan would require the Security Council Ambassadors to meet with and even take photos with President Omar al Bashir, who has been indicted by the International Criminal Court for war crimes and genocide.
The US and UK, in charge of different parts of the long planned Sudan trip, have been trying to get Sudan to drop these demands, to avoid the photo op.
Now, days after US President Obama gave a speech about Sudan in which he mentioned neither the ICC nor Bashir, and Sudan's Vice President Ali Osman Taha praised the new US approach, the impasse has been resolved.
Multiple sources say the trip will be announced later at Tuesday. But at what cost? Watch this site.
