Sudanese President Omar al-Beshir, who is facing an arrest warrant for alleged war crimes in Darfur, arrived in Libya on Thursday, his third trip abroad in a week, his office said.
"He is now in Libya," presidential spokesman Fadel Mahjoub told AFP, without elaborating on the reasons for the visit.
Earlier, Beshir's office had said the president would be travelling to Ethiopia.
Libyan leader Moamer Kadhafi has criticised the warrant, issued by the International Criminal Court (ICC) on March 4. He told UN chief Ban Ki-moon it constituted a "grave precedent against the independence of less powerful states, their sovereignty and their political choices."
Kadhafi, the current African Union chief, said the ICC was "selective" and that the court, based in The Hague, was "employing a policy of double standards in targeting African and third-world states."
On Monday, defying the warrant, Beshir paid a visit to Eritrea and talks with Issaias Afeworki.

WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama claimed early progress Tuesday night in his aggressive campaign to lead the nation out of economic chaos and declared that despite obstacles ahead, "we're moving in the right direction."

JUST WORDS OF CAUTION!!

Watch your thoughts; they become words.

Watch your words; they become actions.

Watch your actions; they become habits.

Watch your habits; they become character.

Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.

I wonder why it took him so long to speak out. May be they will listen to this great African, one of the great figures of the 21st Century. African leaders have much to learn. Why? because, post Independence African governments have been unprincipled, corrupt, and full of selfish leaders. Few of them have consented to share power freely or supported development of a vibrant civil society. Mpaka Mo Ibrahim amebuni mbinu ya kuwarubuni wache madaraka kwa amani lakini haisaidii chohote.Can you believe it; people are being rewarded to relinquish power when their moment is over. A few have implemented with this and gone away with it while others have faced the heat of resistance from both inside and globally. African leaders such as Yoweri Museveni (23yrs), Robert Mugabe (29yrs), Muhamar Ghadafi (40yrs), Hosni Mubarak (28yrs), Omar Bongo (42), Melik Zenawi (18), Paul Kagame (15), and Paul Biya (25) need to go. Africans (Wananchi) also need to make changes in the way we elect our leaders. Time and again we put them into office despite their poor performance. What a continent! We need more Africa’s Nyereres and Mandelas.

Nakubaliana na yote unayoyasema. Watu wengi zaidi inabidi waanze kuyazungumzia masuala haya ili hivi vitabia vyetu vilivyoota mizizi vikome kabisa. Inaumiza sana kuona kwamba mtu unazaliwa na kukua mpaka kufikia utu uzima na bado uaongozwa na mtu yule yule mwenye fikra zile zile! Mabadiliko ni muhimu na ni ya lazima kama kweli Waafrika tunataka kusonga mbele.

Katibu Mkuu wa zamani wa Umoja wa Mataifa Koffi Annan ametoa tamko kwa viongozi wa Afrika ambao umri umepita na waliokuwa madarakani kwa kipindi kirefu kuwapisha vijana. "Mabadiliko Afrika hayawezi kutokea kwa viongozi hao wazee kuendelea kuwa madarakani".

Hii siyo foleni ya mafuta ya taa au petroli bali ni watu wanaosubiri mgao wa maji. Hii ni kwenye kambi moja ya wakimbizi huko Darfur. Kuna kila dalili ya kwamba kama tusipokuwa na mipango mizuri basi tunaweza kukabiliwa na tatizo kubwa sana la maji kwa matumizi ya kila siku hapo mbeleni. Maji ni uhai, na uhaba wake unaweza...
