ENI—Leaders of the All Africa Conference of Churches demanded the Sudanese government “allow uninterrupted humanitarian assistance” in the country following the expulsion of 13 international aid agencies from Sudan’s western Darfur province.
President Omar Hassan al-Bashir ordered the agencies out after the International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for al-Bashir for crimes against humanity committed in Darfur.
The African church grouping urged the government “to assume full responsibility to protect its citizens regardless of origin, religion or political affiliation,” in a March statement.
