Omar al-Bashir, Sudan’s deposed dictator charged with corruption in first public appearance since ouster

Omar al-Bashir, Sudan’s deposed dictator, on Sunday was taken to the court where he faced corruption charges. This is his first public appearance since he was ousted from power in April.

Earlier there was speculation that al-Bashir had managed to flee the country.

Al-Bashir’s former enforcer, Lt. Gen. Mohamed Hamdan’s troops, in the past two weeks, killed at least 100 people. More than 700 have been injured as protests have steadily engulfed the country’s capital Khartoum.

Peaceful protests have reportedly been met with mass murder & sexual violence. There are reports of widespread sexual violence, arrests, and even shootings in hospitals.

Reports said that bodies were seen floating in the river Nile.

Beyond Khartoum, there have been many reported massacres in historical conflict areas, where early reports said that people are being killed in masses.
