Aid agencies ousted as Bashir charged

Aid agencies including Oxfam GB and Save the Children UK have been expelled by Sudan following charges against President Omar al-Bashir. Oxfam confirmed its licence to work in the north of the country has been revoked and said it was appealing the decision. The expulsions follow a decision by the International Criminal Court (ICC) to issue an arrest warrant for al-Bashir on war crimes charges in Darfur.

Thank you for your comments, my secretary will now lose them in the in-tray for a few hours before finding them again and passing them to me.
