topic today, women of africa, peace building and development supports the overarching theme of the africa unionyear of the women empowerment and the development towards africa agenda 2063. ladies and gentlemen as we celebrate the africa today, we acknowledge the progress that we as africans particularly women have made, while reflecting upon the common challenges we still face in a global environment. while african women have made considerable gones in the political, social and economic development over the continent, we are still generalized within the corridors of power. and when applying for jobs and continue to face social exclusion from education to own land or inherit property. the agenda 2063 calls on africa stake holders to work together to build a prosperous and united africa. bassed upon our shared values and common destiny. we value to put all our people, starting with women and girls, into the center of africa development. in addition to empowering its people, africa seeks to harness the competitive advantages such as history, culture and natural resources in order to reposition its

extend its obligations to the icc but the problem here it's torn between listening to what the africa union demands of iter, as a member that have, and also what it's obligations are legally domestically and internationally to the international criminal court. going forward there will be clarity needed about how the sudanese president left the country with this investigation pending, and in that way south africa will be answerable to the courts about why the president left the country why the court order was ignored and how south africa respects the high court decision. >> that's at the heart of this, right? the disrespect. that's something that i was thinking about since we spoke earlier this morning. what does this incident say about the icc's powers or lack there there of? >> well, the entire scenario that has played out in the last couple of days is a clear indication to the icc from the continent of africa that we don't want to be party to the rogue statute for those who have signed up because they're not happy with the way that icc has conducted itself. they say that the africa nation

that is more in line with the africa union thinking that the international criminal court should not have jurisdiction over africa. they're not happy with the way it's conducted itself so far saying that so far the icc has targeted african countries and countries across the globe aren't party to the icc aren't treated in the same way. they would look at pursuing african solutions for african problems ultimately setting up a court here in africa. for now they would rather put aside their obligations, and they want africa counties to withdraw. >> what has been the reactions to bashir's departure if any? >> well, what has been interesting is that it's only been later in the afternoon. that was a couple of hours after reports started that al-bashir had left the country. that the south africa government came forward and said yes he left. and that was after the court said he should be detained. and minutes later the south african government said that he just left the country. they say they have no idea whether he's in the country or not. we need to confirm this with the department of home

but so far south africa is saying they've made an agreement with the african union who will not be handed over to the icc or arrested while in office. the au says there's no problem with him being in south africa and plan for the agenda to continue as usual. the african government is also basing their statements on a cabinet decision that the summit would be held in south africa. that's ultimately why he's had the freedom to come to the country. >> but south africa is a signatory to the icc. would they not be in contempt with them if they continue comply with the arrest warrant? >>reporter: this ultimately looks at which agreement takes precedent. >>reporter: they belong to a coalition of militias. people here are afraid and have put up make shift road blocks to try and stop advances. more than a dozen people have been injured in the fighting that flared up last week when they declared war on isil fighters. >> isil has been trying to bolster its presence with attacks. groups linked to isil are also trying to take control from libyan fighters who back the government in tripoli. isil also c
