Martin condemns Sudan’s expulsion of aid agencies

The Minister for Foreign Affairs Micheál Martin has condemned the Sudanese Government's decision to expel 10 international humanitarian organisations from Darfur.

The decision came just hours after an arrest warrant was issued for President Omar Hassan al-Bashir by the International Criminal Court.

The ICC wants al-Bashir to stand trial for alleged war crimes committed during the conflict in Darfur, which has claimed an estimated 300,000 lives and left millions more living in refugee camps.
