In pictures: Sudan defiant

Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir, standing here in a car in Khartoum, has been charged with war crimes and crimes against humanity by the International Criminal Court (ICC).

As Bashir supporters displayed their loyaltty, China urged the court to postpone the case, warning it risked destabilising Darfur.

Some Arab nations also said the ruling would hinder Darfur peace efforts but the US and EU welcomed the ICC decision.

Sudan reacted to the ICC indictment by expelling 10 foreign aid agencies including Oxfam and Medecins Sans Frontieres.

Mr Bashir told a rally in the capital's Martyrs Square: "We will not kneel. We are targeted because we refuse to submit."

The African Union is holding an emergency meeting in the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa to discuss the arrest warrant.

The UN estimates that 300,000 people have died and 2.7 million are displaced in Darfur.
