Uganda is still expecting the President of Sudan, Omar El Bashir to attend an African Union summit in Kampala this month.
Sudan President, Omar Bashir
The minister of Uganda for Foreign Affairs, Sam Kutesa says the Sudanese embassy in Kampala recently confirmed that it received Bashir’s invitation letter and sent it to Khartoum.
The African Union summit is taking place in Kampala from July 19th to July 26th 2010. The venue for the summit is Munyonyo, a posh suburb of Kampala.
The only African countries that have been invited for the summit are Niger and Guinea because they were suspended over military coups.
The international Criminal court recently issued a warrant of arrest against Bashri on charges of committing atrocities in Sudan’s war ton Durfur. Bashir has since last restricted his tours.
