KAMPALA - Uganda will consider offering asylum to ousted Sudanese leader Omar al-Bashir despite his indictment by the International Criminal Court , a foreign affairs minister said on Wednesday.
Bashir, 75, who had ruled Sudan for 30 years after seizing power in a military coup, was toppled by the military last week after months of street protests. There was no immediate comment from the ICC in The Hague. ICC member states, which include Uganda, are obligated to hand over indictees who enter their territory.
Oryem said the ICC indictment would not be deemed an obstacle to any application for political asylum in Uganda by Bashir.
