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.
