Bashir tells BBC he will quit in 2020

Sudanese President Omar Bashir has said that he will step down in 2020 after his current term in office ends.
“In 2020, there will be a new president and I will be an ex-president,” Bashir said in an interview with the BBC broadcast on Thursday.
Bashir took power in a 1989 coup.
The 72-year-old career soldier won a new term last April in elections marred by an opposition boycott.
Bashir had previously said he would not run in the 2015 elections.
He told the BBC his job was “exhausting” and that he would not stand in elections slated for 2020.
Bashir was indicted by the ICC over charges related to the Darfur conflict.
Ethnic minority insurgents rebelled against him in 2003 saying the western region was being marginalized and Bashir unleashed a campaign to crush them.
