Sudan has expelled the International Organisation for Migration (IOM) from South Darfur state, accusing the agency of inciting the 2.5 million people in camps not to return home, state media said today.
UN and IOM officials said they had not been informed of the decision, which the state-owned Sudanese Media Centre (SMC) said was taken by local authorities in South Darfur state.
"The government of South Darfur state has decided to expel the International Organisation for Migration from the state," SMC said on Wednesday. SMC has close links with Sudanese state security.
