Sudan suspends all Red Cross activities KHARTOUM ( 31 Jan
.) - The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has recently received an official letter from the Sudanese Humanitarian Affairs Commission (HAC) asking it to suspend all its activities in Sudan. The suspension would go into effect on 1 February, the ICRC told Radio Dabanga. Sources say the suspension came in place because the ICRC and the Sudanese government were not able to reach an agreement on the activities the organisation conducts in the country. However, ICRC official spokesman Rafi Qureshi could not confirm this information. Qureshi told Radio Dabanga the ICRC will enter new negotiations with the HAC, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and other authorities within the upcoming days. He said the aim of ICRC is to resume its activities in favour of the victims of armed conflicts and violence in Sudan. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "South Sudan Info - The Kob" group.
