Government “concerned” about aid operation

    NAIROBI

    A statement issued by the Sudan government said it shared with the UN the concern about humanitarian operations in the south, and the continued violations of the ceasefire by rebels. The ministry of social planning statement, broadcast by state television, on Thursday said the government was saddened by the UN decision to “suspend the relief operation”, because of the harm and suffering it would inflict on citizens as a result of the decision. The Sudanese government appealed to the UN Secretary-General to quickly take steps to restore Operation Lifeline Sudan, a UN-led humanitarian consortium, “in accordance with the principles under which it was formed”.
    It stressed its commitment “to delivering relief to its citizens by rail and road”, and to securing ways of relief delivery.
