The Executive Secretary of the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) has received with great dismay the news of the decision of the Pre-trial Chamber of the International Criminal Court (ICC) which issued a second warrant of arrest against the elected President of Sudan, H.E. Omar Hassan Ahmed Al-Bashir on charges of genocide upon application by the ICC Prosecutor.

IGAD expresses its heartfelt condolences to the families and friends of the innocent people killed by Al-shabab at two recreation areas while they were watching the final World Soccer Match in Kampala, Uganda.
