CNN reports that the Sudanese government has ordered ten aid organizations to leave the region, including the International Rescue Committee, Oxfam, and others. The U.N. protested the move, a spokesman said, declaring that these organizations are "the main providers of life-saving humanitarian services, such, as water, food, health, and sanitation. Their departure will have an immediate and serious impact on the humanitarian and security situation in North Sudan, (and) especially in Darfur."
The move may be in response to the International Criminal Court, which issued an arrest warrant for Sudanese President Omar Al-Bashir, who is charged with crimes against humanity and war crimes.
