CARE disappointed over outcome of Sudan talks

    NAIROBI
    The NGO, CARE-Sudan, on Monday expressed disappointment over the outcome of last week's peace talks between the Sudanese government and SPLA. "It would be nice if a strong peace process could be pursued which would forge ahead and stop the war," CARE Assistant Country Director Ann Morris told IRIN. On Friday, CARE warned in a statement that as the harvest approaches in August, a large movement of displaced people from the country to regional towns is likely. The agency's staff are struggling to keep emergency feeding centres open in Bentiu, Rubkona and Mayoum in Unity State and have battled "major" diarrhoea outbreaks in Mayoum and Bentiu. The statement further said that tens of thousands of Sudanese have been cut off from humanitarian assistance as fierce fighting has limited the reach of aid agencies to all but major towns. "We are very concerned about what is happening to people in the countryside. There is practically no information on what's happening out there," Morris added.
