Sudan's military ousted Bashir after weeks of mass protests that climaxed in a sit-in outside the Defence Ministry compound.
Protests are continuing and their leaders say the unrest will not cease until the ruling Transitional Military Council hands power to a civilian-led authority ahead of elections.
The TMC also decreed that all state entities disclose financial holdings within 72 hours, and warned that officials who failed to comply could be fined and face up to 10 years in prison, SUNA reported. At least some political prisoners have been freed since Bashir's overthrow, including several SPA figures.Awad Ibn Auf, an Islamist like Bashir, initially headed the TMC before stepping down after one day in the post. Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, who has engaged in impromptu dialogue with protesters in the streets of the capital, now heads the council and has promised to hold elections within two years.
Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni has in the past criticised the ICC, calling it a tool of Western justice against Africans. Bashir has defied the ICC by visiting several ICC member states. Diplomatic rows broke out when he went to South Africa in 2015 and Jordan in 2017 and both declined to arrest him for extradition to the ICC in the Netherlands.
