So, you've just expelled thirteen international aid agencies.  You've disbanded three of the largest local aid organizations.

You've left over a million people in Darfur without access to food, water or health care.

But you can explain.  It's not you, it's them.

It's unfair, actually - everyone rushes to accuse you of genocide, when really it's the aid agencies that are to blame.  They steal money, and they're spies.  Colonialist, imperialist, western spies.  Godless, missionary spies.

Really, there's nothing to see in Darfur.  Certainly no genocide, or rape.  Definitely no rape.

Or says the Sudanese Government.

Below is a report from Al Sahafa newspaper in Sudan, outlining the Government's accusations against IRC, CARE, ACF, Solidarities, Mercy Corps, MSF-Holland, CHF, Save the Children-UK, Norwegian Refugee Council, and Oxfam.

Most of which comes down to aid agencies having the temerity - the sheer, unmitigated gall - to report on what's actually happening.  The bastards.

[PS - the report below was translated - at times rather poorly - from Arabic.  Hence the somewhat bizarre sentences.]
