Sudan to 'expel all aid groups'

Khartoum, 16 March-(ANA)-Sudan's President Omar al-Bashir says he wants all international aid groups out of the country within a year.

Foreign organisations could drop relief supplies at airports and let Sudanese organisations take care of it, the president told a military rally.

Sudan has already expelled 13 large foreign agencies, mostly from Darfur.

Mr Bashir accuses them of spying for the International Criminal Court, which has issued an arrest warrant against him for alleged war crimes in Darfur.

He also shut down three local aid groups, including one of the largest Sudanese groups operating in Darfur. (ANA)
