The International Criminal Court (ICC) has referred Malawi to the UN Security Council for refusing to arrest President Omar al-Bashir.
Malawi hosted Mr Bashir in October in defiance of an ICC arrest warrant for him on charges of genocide in Darfur, BBC reported.
ICC spokesman Fadi el-Abdallah told the AFP news agency it would be up to the UN Security Council to “determine what measures they will judge appropriate” against Malawi.
Malawi has ratified the treaty establishing the ICC but said it was not its “business” to arrest Mr Bashir.
Chad, Kenya and Djibouti have also been referred to the UN Security Council for refusing to arrest Mr Bashir, even though they recognise the ICC.
Many African leaders accuse the ICC of only investigating alleged war crimes in Africa and ignoring those committed elsewhere.
The Catholic Radio Network (CRN) is a media project constituted by community-based radio stations broadcasting in Frequency Modulation from Juba, Yei, Torit, Yambio, Rumbek, Tonj, Wau, and Malakal. CRN has also a station in the Nuba Mountains. All the stations share the same vision and mission, and are bound by common editorial and administrative policies. All stations broadcast shared programs in English: news, civic education, and other educational programs. Due to the heterogeneous realities of South Sudan, each station is rooted in its locality and broadcasts locally produced culture-sensitive programs in the languages which are understood by the local people. For its outreach, CRN has a potential audience of about seven million people, considering the influx of returnees to South Sudan after the Sudan Population Census 2008.
