Sudan Aid Groups Get Marching Orders: Will Obama React?
Sources are reporting that international aid organizations – including Oxfam, Care International, Doctors without Borders, and others – are being asked to leave areas of Darfur by the government of Sudan in reaction to today’s issuance of an arrest warrant for for President Bashir today.
