Sudanese President Omar Al -Bashir has left South Africa in his official jet just as a South African high court took a short break to receive information from South African state lawyers over its interim order asking Mr. Bashir to remain in the country.

Diplomatic sources in South Africa revealed to reporters from the BBC that Mr. Bashir left his hotel for the Waterkloof Air Force Base in a Black BMW car and immediately departed the country under tight security.

Mr. Bashir is wanted by the International Criminal Court (ICC) over allegations that he committed crimes against humanity in Darfur. President Bashir denies the allegations claiming that the ICC was set up to hunt down Africans.
