Egypt In Fierce Diplomatic Activity For Support For Sudan

Egypt has ordered its diplomats to act to consolidate an international bloc in support of Sudan against the International Criminal Court.

Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak yesterday conducted a surprise visit to Italy in order to discuss with Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi the ICC's demand for the arrest of Sudanese President Omar Al-Bashir.

In addition, the Egyptian government has placed legal experts at the disposal of Arab League secretary-general Amr Moussa for any legal help or consultation necessary to prevent Al-Bashir's arrest.
