Doha: United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon told a gathering of Arab leaders, including Sudan's president, that Sudan should reverse its expulsion of aid agencies in Darfur.
Sudanese President Omar Al Bashir, sought by an international court on charges of war crimes in Darfur, sat in the audience and listened as the UN chief delivered his speech to the Arab League summit in Qatar on Monday.

The summit is the first time Ban and Al Bashir have come face-to-face since the International Criminal Court ordered his arrest on March 4.
