A man wanted for alleged war crimes in Darfur has been appointed as governor for Sudan's disputed south Kordofan province.
Ahmed Harun was named as being chosen to head the oil-rich region in a decree issued on Thursday by Omar al-Bashir, who is also sought by the International Criminal Court (ICC) for alleged war crimes.
Harun, who had been the minister of state for humanitarian affairs, had an arrest warrant issued against him in 2007. Harun is wanted by the ICC for allegedly allowing rapes and murder to be committed in Darfur.
The ICC has 51 charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity against Harun, which were allegedly committed in Sudan's western Darfur region in 2003 and 2004.
