Urge the Government of Sudan to Immediately Reverse Its Decision to Expel and Suspend the Operations of Humanitarian Aid Agencies

by Danny Fisher

This from Amnesty International:

    On March 4, 2009, the government of Sudan expelled and suspended the operations of 13 international humanitarian aid organizations and at least 3 domestic aid organizations operating in Darfur and across Sudan. Organizations working in South Sudan were exempted for the government’s order. The government’s action followed a decision by the International Criminal Court to issue an arrest warrant for Sudanese President Omar al Bashir on charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity. Without the food, water, and medicine provided by these aid groups, millions of vulnerable men, women, and children in Darfur and throughout Sudan face starvation and disease. You can act now to get these agencies urgently reinstated.
