CAIRO (Reuters) - Sudan expelled two aid workers on Thursday, three days after the International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for Sudanese President Omar Hassan al-Bashir on genocide charges.
"Two of my staff members have been asked to leave the country," International Organization for Migration chief of mission Jill Helke told Reuters by telephone from Khartoum.
She said they regretted the government move. The pair will leave Sudan Saturday.
The IOM headquarters in Geneva confirmed the expulsions and said the Sudanese government had given it no explanation for the decision. The two international staffers had been working with refugees in Darfur, it said in a statement.
Last year, Sudan expelled 13 foreign aid organizations after the initial arrest warrant against Bashir.
The genocide charge issued Monday followed an arrest warrant by the Hague-based court against Bashir in March 2009 for war crimes and crimes against humanity in the Darfur conflict.
Bashir has dismissed the accusations by the ICC, the world's first permanent court for prosecuting war crimes, as part of a Western conspiracy. The ICC warrant was the first issued against a sitting head of state by the court.
U.N. officials say as many as 300,000 people have died and over 2.7 million been driven from their homes in seven years of ethnic and politically motivated violence in Darfur, a remote region of Western Sudan. Khartoum says 10,000 have died.
