 JUBA, Sudan (AP) - The new U.N. humanitarian chief said Friday he had told senior Sudanese government officials they must stop hindering the work of aid groups in the country.
Former British diplomat John Holmes, who took over March 1 as U.N. undersecretary-general for humanitarian affairs, inaugurated his term this week with a visit to Sudan at the start of an eight-day trip that also includes stops in Chad and the Central African Republic.
Holmes told The Associated Press in an interview Friday that he had met with senior Sudanese officials a day earlier in Khartoum and stressed the need for the government not to interfere with humanitarian work.
