RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (AP) — Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir has been invited to this weekend’s summit in the Saudi capital with U.S. President Donald Trump and leaders from across the Muslim world, Saudi officials close to the king said Tuesday.

Al-Bashir, who has been Sudan’s leader since 1989, is wanted by the International Criminal Court in the Netherlands for war crime allegations. ICC prosecutors charged al-Bashir in 2009 and 2010 with genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes in Sudan’s Darfur region.

Shortly before leaving office, President Barack Obama temporarily lifted some financial sanctions on Sudan after seeing a reduction in military offensives by the government.

5. Are you kidding?

This guy is probably one of Drumph's role models!

A normal/real president wouldn't go, but this sleazy opportunist? Of course he will and he'll talk later about how great of friends they are.

6. Trump has no idea who Al-Bashir is; he doesn't know where Sudan is

let alone the history of South Sudan, etc.

If you told him that David Bowie's widow, the Supermodel Iman is from there, yes, the light bulb might go on.

but it will be a 25 watt yellow porch bulb.

7. Trump will likely share some "secrets" with al-Bashir - to impress him

and will get more scoops than anyone in the room.

yup
