Omar Hassan Ahmad al-Bashir (Arabic: عمر حسن أحمد البشير; born 1 January 1944) is the President of Sudan and the head of the National Congress Party. He came to power in 1989 when, as a brigadier in the Sudanese Army, he led a group of officers in a military coup that ousted the democratically elected government of Prime Minister Sadiq al-Mahdi after it began negotiations with rebels in the south. Since then, he has been elected three times as President in elections that have been under scrutiny for corruption. In March 2009, al-Bashir became the first sitting president to be indicted by the International Criminal Court (ICC), for allegedly directing a campaign of mass killing, rape, and pillage against civilians in Darfur.
In October 2005, al-Bashir's government negotiated an end to the Second Sudanese Civil War, leading to a referendum in the South, resulting in the separation of the south into the separate country of South Sudan. In the Darfur region, he oversaw the War in Darfur that has resulted in death tolls that are about 10,000 according to the Sudanese Government, but most sources suggest between 200,000 and 400,000. During his presidency, there have been several violent struggles between the Janjaweed militia and rebel groups such as the Sudanese Liberation Army (SLA) and the Justice and Equality Movement (JEM) in the form of guerrilla warfare in the Darfur region. The civil war has displaced over 2.5 million people out of a total population of 6.2 million in Darfur and has created a crisis in the diplomatic relations between Sudan and Chad. The rebels in Darfur lost the support from Libya after the death of Muammar Gaddafi and the collapse of his regime in 2011.

Sudan's President Omar al-Bashir, who is accused by the International Criminal Court of genocide and crimes against humanity, attended the International Defence Exhibition and Conference (IDEX) in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in February. It is the first major weapons fair to be held in the Middle East since the United Nations' Arms Trade Treaty came into effect in December 2014.

When Sudan's President Omar al-Bashir attended a summit in South Africa in June 2015, he manged to leave the country - despite a high court order banning him from leaving because of an outstanding warrant for his arrest on charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity. The South African government did not stop Bashir from leaving and the incident is considered by many as a major setback to the cause of international justice. The warrant had been issued by Fatou Bensouda, the chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC). Fatou Bensouda, the chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court talks to Al Jazeera about Sudan's president escaping justice in South Africa, alleged war crimes in Palestine and Israel, and responds to those who challenge the credibility of the c...

خطاب المشير عمر البشير رئيس السودان حول الأوضاع السياسية والاقتصادية
As the only head of state wanted by the International Criminal Court on genocide charges, President Omar Hassan al-Bashir of Sudan has spent years looking over his shoulder. He avoided countries where the risk of arrest seemed high. He visited friendly African nations hostile to the court, though he sometimes quickly left for home when the ground seemed to shift. Recently, Mr. Bashir found himself unable to leave South Africa, which he was visiting to attend an African Union (AU) summit meeting in Johannesburg. A South African High Court ordered the government to prevent Mr. Bashir from departing until it issues a ruling on whether the government is required to arrest him and hand him over to the international court. Africa Today asks whether this will push the AU to finally establish a ...
