The International Criminal Court has charged the Sudan president, General Omar al Bashir, with genocide.

A second arrest warrant has been issued through the ICC following technical failures last year to indict al-Bashir on grave human rights charges.

ICC judges have issued an arrest warrant charging al-Bashir with three counts of genocide, over which it is alleged he
kept 2.5 million refugees from specific ethnic groups in Darfur in "genocide conditions" in concentration camps.

Court prosecutors have accused al-Bashir of acting to partially destroy the Fur, Masalit and Zaghawa ethnic groups.

They said there reasonable grounds before the court to believe that villages and towns targeted by Bashir's government forces had been selected on the basis of their ethnic composition.
