Sudan to Welcome New International NGOs
The Sudanese government has announced that it will allow applications from new international NGOs to operate in the western Darfur region, filling the gap left when the government expelled 13 agencies.
The announcement comes as the UN’s Undersecretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs John Holmes, continued a trip to the country, meeting leaders in the semi-autonomous southern region.
The 13 international NGOs were expelled from Darfur in March, following the International Criminal Court's decision to issue an arrest warrant for the country’s president Omar al-Bashir.
Sudanese Humanitarian Affairs Minister, Haroun Loual, says that while the expelled NGOs will not be allowed to return to Darfur, new international NGOs will be invited.
