Sudanese presidential adviser Mustafa Osman Ismail said the government was not surprised by the decision.

Sudan said on Wednesday the decision by the International Criminal Court (ICC) to issue an arrest warrant against President Omar Hassan al-Bashir over war crimes in Darfur was part of a "neo-colonialism" plan.

Sudanese presidential adviser Mustafa Osman Ismail said the government was not surprised by the decision.

"They do not want Sudan ... to become stable," he said.
