Khartoum Says Government Permits Aid To Avert Catastrophe
In Darfur
Sudanese News Updates
17 April 2009
Khartoum - American Senator John
Kerry said after talks with senior Sudanese officials
on Thursday Khartoum would allow some foreign aid to
be restored in its western Darfur region but that it
was not sufficient.
"Time is of the essence to avert a humanitarian
catastrophe," said Kerry, who heads the US Senate's
Foreign Relations Committee and is leading a
congressional delegation to Sudan.
Kerry arrived on Wednesday just two days after Sudan's
President Omar Hassan al-Bashir struck a more
conciliatory tone towards Washington, seen by Khartoum
in the past as an enemy.
International experts estimate 200 000 people have
been killed and 2.5 million have been driven from
their homes during almost six years of ethnic and
politically driven fighting in Sudan's west. Khartoum
puts the death toll at around 10 000.
Last month, the International Criminal Court issued an
arrest warrant for Bashir on charges of masterminding
war crimes in Darfur. Sudan expelled 13 foreign aid
groups it accused of helping build the charges against
Bashir.
Kerry said a new dialogue had been brought about by US
President Barack Obama's special envoy to Sudan, Scott
Gration, and the willingness of the Sudanese
government. - Reuters
