Sudan: Concern over abducted aid workers

Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has said he is deeply concerned at the recent kidnapping of humanitarian workers in Darfur, and once again called on the Sudanese Government to reverse its decision last week to expel 13 major aid groups. Last night five staff members of the non-governmental organization (NGO) Médecins Sans Frontières/Belgium – three internationals and two Sudanese nationals – were abducted by armed men from their office in North Darfur.
