Sudan

Last night the head of the African Union special panel mandated to resolve the crisis in Sudan's Darfur region wrapped up discussions on the crisis.

The former South African President Thabo Mbeki, who has spent eight months listening to various parties involved in the conflict, said in the Nigerian capital Abuja that the way forward was for a hybrid court as well as a truth and reconciliation commission to be created.

This, he said, was the will of the Sudanese people

It was the International Criminal Court indictment hanging over the Sudanese president Omar el Bashir that led to the creation of the panel.

So what do these developments mean for the international body?

That's what Peter Ndoro asked the African director of Human Rights Watch, Georgette Gaignon.
