Sudan: Suspension Red Cross 'Final Phase of the Genocide' - Darfur Rebels

4 February 2014

Darfur — The suspension of the activities of the Red Cross in Sudan on 1 February is eliciting many responses, condemning the Sudanese government's decision. Speaking to Radio Dabanga, Mahjoub Adam Tabaldiya, sheikh of El Salam camp in Nyala, sharply condemned the Sudanese authorities' decision to suspend the activities of the Red Cross. He called on the UN and the Security Council to pressure the Sudanese government to allow the return of the international organisations expelled in the past, and cancel the decision of suspending the Red Cross' activities without setting restrictions or conditions.

The sheikh emphasised that "the displaced of Darfur are now facing a real disaster". "There is already a lack of humanitarian services; the past agricultural season failed; the prices of basic commodities increase almost each day, and international aid organisations have been expelled."
