Government meets MSF delegation

    NAIROBI

    Officials of Sudan’s Humanitarian Aid Commission (HAC) this week held talks on the humanitarian situation with a delegation from the international relief agency Medecins sans Frontieres (MSF), the state news agency, Suna, reported on Friday.

    In a brief dispatch from Khartoum, it said both sides had “stressed the importance of promoting the humanitarian aid programmes in the southern states, supporting rehabilitation projects and ensuring the efficiency and safety of humanitarian operations”.

    The general commissioner of Humanitarian Aid, Sulaf al-Din Salih, was quoted as saying he had explained to MSF the government guarantees to ensure the safety of the humanitarian aid operations in south Sudan, where government forces have been engaged in a 17-year civil war with southern rebels.
