The Sudanese ruling National Congress Party (NCP) has warned expelled foreign aid groups not to re-enter the country.
The NCP secretary of ogranisations alleged that aid groups were seeking entrance in order to collect information on the humanitarian situation in Sudan and fabricate reports with the help of world powers such as Amnesty International and Transparency International, in an attempt to damage the nation’s image.
The aid organisations were initially expelled in 2009, after being accused of aiding the formation of the International Criminal Court’s arrest warrant against Sudan’s president Omer Al-Bashir.
Further aid organisations were evicted from the region as Sudan continued to clamp down. Sudan currently refuses entry to any new aid groups.
