Foreign diplomats expelled from Sudan

SUDAN has expelled European and Canadian diplomats for “interfering in its affairs”.

“Sudan has summoned the envoy of the European Commission and the Canadian chargé d’affaires and informed them they were considered persona non grata because they interfered in Sudanese affairs,” foreign ministry spokesman Ali al-Sadek told the SUNA news agency.

The European Commission which named the EU’s head of delegation in Khartoum as Kent Degerfelt of Sweden, said it was trying to resolve the matter but refused to elaborate.
