Haroun and Hussein, who held top government positions under Bashir, are wanted by the International Criminal Court over their role in the Darfur conflict. Taha served as vice president under Bashir between 1998-2013, and was previously Sudan's foreign minister. Hussein served in several positions including defence and interior minister. Haroun served as minister of state for the interior, minister of state for humanitarian affairs, and governor of the conflict-ridden South Kordofan. In February, Sudan's transitional authorities, who took power in August, agreed that Bashir and his aides should stand trial before the ICC.
