CABINET TABLES NEW BILLS

Kenya's Prime Minister Raila Odinga says that it was wrong to invite Sudan's President Omar al-Bashir, who is wanted on genocide charges, to last week's promulgation of the new constitution. Odinga told church-goers that the invitation contravened the statutes of the International Criminal Court (ICC) to which Kenya is a signatory. Odinga's remarks come in the wake of international criticism of Kenya's decision to invite and then failure to arrest Bashir at Friday's ceremonies. Bashir faces charges of crimes against humanity and genocide for atrocities committed in Sudan's Darfur region

Rwanda has threatened to withdraw co-operation with the UN if a draft report criticizing its army is published. Kigali said it would reconsider its contributions to UN peacekeeping missions, dismissing claims in the UN report as "insane". The document accuses Rwanda's Tutsi-led army of killing Hutus in Democratic Republic of Congo in the 1990s - acts it says may amount to genocide. The UN draft report, which was leaked on Friday, says in the years following the genocide, the Rwandan army went into neighboring Zaire (which is now DR Congo) and killed tens of thousands of ethnic Hutus - including women, children and the elderly. It has also emerged that Rwandan Foreign Minister Louise Mushikiwabo had responded to the report earlier this month, criticizing the sourcing and methodology of UN investigators

Two Russian pilots were kidnapped from Nyala town in Darfur on Sunday, state media said, the latest in a wave of kidnappings targeting foreigners in the violent region. Abductions targeting foreigners have become big business in the west of Sudan, severely restricting the world's largest aid operation and hindering the U.N.-funded peacekeeping mission Darfur's largest town, Nyala has been the target for many abductions of foreign aid workers and UNAMID peacekeepers, mostly by young men from Arab tribes demanding cash. The kidnappings started after the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued an arrest warrant for President Omar Hassan al-Bashir in 2009 accusing him of war crimes and crimes against humanity in Darfur.

RWANDA THREATENS UN

A powerful South African labour leader has threatened to withdraw support for President Jacob Zuma's African National Congress, ending a long- standing alliance strained by a nearly three-week-old strike. Adding to the pressure on the government, a union representing tyre makers announced a strike for higher wages from today. The government and unions have opened a new round of wage negotiations to end the dispute that has shut schools and prevented treatment of the sick. This month's strike by about 1.3 million state workers, including teachers, nurses, customs officers and government clerks has presented Zuma with one of his most serious challenges since taking office more than a year ago
