Ocampo serves notice to the Mambo. By Mahjoob in the London-based Al-Quds Al-Arabi

"Dancing in the streets of Khartoum and expelling humanitarian organisations active in Sudan are not the best ways of dealing with the problem." -- Sherif Riad, Al-Akhbar

"It is difficult for state institutions to carry on with their job of running the state and serving the people while their leader is busy with his personal fate." -- Gamal Abdel-Gawad, Nahdet Masr

"How can a UN member state follow Al-Bashir's plane on its way to the Arab summit in Doha and force it to land in order to kidnap a president who is still in power?" -- Makram Mohamed Ahmed, Al-Ahram

"It is impossible to predict the results of inter-Palestinian dialogue. But it will definitely take more than the 10-day period designated for it." -- Al-Quds Al-Arabi

"Palestinian reconciliation is not a luxury or an option but a must imposed by the sensitivity of the present phase." -- Al-Watan

"Al-Bashir should challenge the ICC by attending his trial rather than escaping from it." -- Abdel-Rahman Al-Rashed, Asharq Al-Awsat
