As noted in previous post here at Sudan Watch, the names of the 13 NGOs ordered to leave Sudan appear to be: Oxfam GB, Care, MSF-Holland, Mercy Corps, Save the Children UK, Norwegian Refugee Council, International Rescue Committee, Action Contre La Faim, Solidarities, CHF International, Save the Children USA, PADCO, MSF-France.

Here are some of the latest tweets from Rob Crilly in Darfur (as at Thurs 17:56 pm GMT):
