Omar Al-Bashir 'will seek re-election'

Sudan's President Omar al-Bashir will stand for re-election next year, an aide says, despite previous claims that he would quit after 25 years in power.

He was chosen ahead of four other candidates by the ruling National Congress Party's (NCP) decision-making council, Ibrahim Ghandour said.
The International Criminal Court (ICC) has indicted him for genocide in the Darfur region. He denies the charges.
Critics say Mr Bashir, 70, leads one of Africa's most repressive regimes.
He seized power in a coup in 1989, and has won three elections since then.
