Four Aid Groups Allowed Back in Darfur
June 15, 2009
The United Nations has announced that Sudan has allowed four international aid organizations that had been expelled from the country in March to return to Darfur, BBC News reports.
Care International, Save the Children, Mercy Corps, and Padco are the four groups and were among 13 such organizations that were thrown out of the country in March.
John Holmes, the United Nation’s humanitarian chief, said Sudan agreed to allow nonprofit groups to go back to Darfur as long as the groups register under slightly changed names and logos.
