President enjoys strong support of Arab leaders

    ABIDJAN

    There has been strong support for Bashir from Arab leaders, with Saudi Arabia saying at the weekend it was "an internal affair" and both Libyan and Egyptian presidents Hosni Mubarak and Muammar Gaddafi declaring their support for their Sudanese counterpart. A spokesman for the US State Department, which has led the effort to isolate the Islamist state of Sudan internationally, said it was more a battle of personalities than
    policies. "What we're looking for is a change of policies in Sudan, policies that would promote reconciliation, an end to the civil war," the 'Washington Post' quoted spokesman James Foley as saying.
