(GIN) – An international arrest warrant issued this week against Sudanese President Omar al-Beshir has set off a flood of criticism over the move from African leaders and other rights activists worldwide.
 
In the warrant, the Sudanese leader is accused of 10 counts of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes in the western region of Darfur. Chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC), Luis Moreno-Ocampo, signed the warrant.
 
quot;You can't arrest Beshir. Who's going to arrest him?" South Africa’s deputy foreign minister Aziz Pahad queried reporters at a pres conference.
