Red Cross suspends work in Sudan

KHARTOUM, Sudan (AP) — A Red Cross official in Sudan says that the organization has suspended its work there after the Sudanese government said that the organization was not complying with national laws.

Head of the International Committee of the Red Cross’s delegation in Sudan, Jean-Christophe Sandoz, said in a statement Sunday that the group is now in discussions with authorities on how to lift the suspension, which took effect Saturday.
