The precarious situation Sudan has recently seen the expulsion of 16 aid agencies from Sudan. Clearly it is backlash towards the recent indictment and victimization of Sudanese leader Omar Al-Bashir. History has a strange way of repeating itself, and Sudan is no exception. He is a tyrant in a corner and his reaction typifies past men of his kind.
Al Bashir recently called for all aid agencies to leave Sudan within a year. Such an action would millions at risk of starvation nevermind the violence. How can this be? Is this the same Al-Bashir who signed a treaty with a rebel group? The same man who preaches love of his country and decries western influence. Sudan right no especially Darfur, is on a knife edge. With the expulsion of aid organizations catastrophe might be the new word we use for Sudan. A sobering reality.
