Sudan to expel senior aid workers

Sudan has ordered the expulsion of two senior international aid workers it claims have made political statements about the crisis in Darfur.

The country directors of British charities Oxfam and Save the Children were told to leave within 48 hours.

The Sudanese government accused both organisations of prolonging the conflict rather than helping it.

Sudan to expel senior aid workers....

There seem to be conflicting reports about whether Oxfam has been expelled. See also Sudan Expels Head of Britain Aid Agency, based on Reuters, and from AP Sudan orders expulsion of two aid group directors for statements on Darfur.

No word yet in the Oxfam newsroom. The Save the Children newsroom is much slower to update.

There were reports that the expulsions may have been canceled, but that now appears not to be the case.
