No US president has been treated more unfairly, says Trump
Donald Trump gave vent to frustrations over his mounting political problems on Wednesday, declaring that no president in US history has been treated “more unfairly.” During a commencement address at the US Coast Guard Academy, Trump urged graduating cadets to follow his example and “fight, fight, fight. Never, ever, give up. Things will work out just fine.”
The outburst came amid intensifying pressure on the president in the wake of his firing of James Comey as director of the FBI last week, in the midst of a probe into whether Trump’s campaign colluded with Russian attempts to tilt the US election in his favour. The Senate Intelligence Committee announced Wednesday that they have asked Comey to testify.

Sudan’s Bashir asked to Saudi summit with Trump despite ICC charges
Saudi Arabia has invited Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir, who is wanted for alleged war crimes, to a summit with US President Donald Trump and Arab and Muslim leaders. Mr Bashir will travel to Saudi Arabia on Friday, Sudan’s Foreign Minister Ibrahim Ghandour said.
The minister added that he hopes US sanctions against Sudan will be lifted in July, and said he believes the US wants to normalise relations.
In 2009 and 2010, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants against Mr Bashir for genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity related to the conflict in Darfur, which has claimed at least three hundred thousand lives. He denies the charges, and has successfully evaded arrest for several years.

Red Cross finds 115 bodies in CAR diamond-mining town
Red Cross workers have found one hundred and eleven bodies in Central African Republic’s diamond-mining town of Bangassou after several days of militia attacks, the president of the aid group’s local branch said on Wednesday.
Hundreds of militia with heavy weaponry seized the southeastern border town of Bangassou at the weekend and U.N. peacekeepers have since then been trying to wrest it back. The battle for control of the town marks a new escalation in a conflict that began in 2013 when mainly Muslim Seleka fighters ousted then-President Francois Bozize, prompting reprisal killings from Christian militias. Recent clashes have centred on diamond-rich central and southern areas of the country, with rival militias battling among themselves to control them.
