Ten countries discuss regional crime prevention

Ten central and east African countries were due to meet in Khartoum on Monday to discuss ways of combating organised crime throughout the region, the official SUNA news agency reported. It said interior ministers and police directors from Sudan, Kenya, Uganda, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Burundi, Rwanda, Djibouti, Tanzania and the Seychelles would come together for what Sudanese Interior Minister Major-General Abd al-Rahim Muhammad Husayn described as a “great African gathering”. Regional and international organisations, such as the UN and OAU, will also attend to discuss issues such as drugs control.
