Sudan will surrender former officials who are wanted for alleged war crimes in the Darfur region to the International Criminal Court (ICC).

Sudan's decision comes weeks after the ICC's outgoing chief prosecutor, Fatou Bensouda, visited the country and urged its leaders to surrender all those wanted, including ex-President Omar al-Bashir, who was in power during the conflict.

Federal government minister Bothaina Dinar says the cabinet's decision is unanimous and aimed at establishing peace and stability in the country.
