HAVE YOUR SAY: The wider impacts of Sudan expulsions
Written by: AlertNet
The shuttering of 16 major aid agencies in Sudan after a world court indictment of the country's president for war crimes has plunged relief efforts into chaos and raised fears of escalating violence. As aid workers, peacekeepers, diplomats and donors struggle to assess the fallout, we're asking five big questions about what could happen next. Help us map out the possible consequences of the expulsions. We'd particularly like to hear from aid workers on the ground (anonymous comments welcome). Feel free to address any of these themes: 1. What is the likely impact of the expulsions on the humanitarian situation in Darfur? 2. What will the expulsions mean for the joint UN-AU peacekeeping mission in Darfur? 3. What are the possible implications for the peace agreement that ended Sudan's 21-year civil war between north and south? 4. What are the possible knock-on effects for neighbouring Chad? 5. What are the implications for peace hopes in neighbouring northern Uganda? Click here to read our previous Have Your Say on What will Bashir warrant mean for aid groups in Sudan?

One of the few bright spots from an aid point of view is that the governments supplying troops to UNAMID â who are nearly all non-Western â are now starting to get quite worried. They think theyâre going to be pressurised into taking up some of the slack managing the aid effort which they canât do. And wht about security? What happens if govt pushes their way in to the camps and IDPs react? Troop contributing countires are quite scared. AU didnât even mention it at the start â just condemned ICC but now they're seeing the implications for them.

It is the future of many international aid organisation in all of Africa which are actively helping millions of defenseless refugees now in many African countries. If the present African leaders who are genuinely interested in peace and quite life of many ethnic African division in the societies,they have to come out of their silence and speak against these expulsions.
African future Democratic developments and peace among nations depends largely on the responsibilities in helping executing the ICC arrest warrant and justice to the thousands of Darfur refugees.23 Mar 2009 16:01:55 GMT
