KHARTOUM, March 5 (Reuters) - Sudan plans to expel three more aid agencies, bringing to 13 the number of groups ordered out since the International Criminal Court called for Sudan's president to be arrested over war crimes, an aid official said.
"We have heard that the Sudanese government is set to expel three more foreign aid groups. It looks like the instructions are coming from the top," the official told Reuters on Thursday, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue.
"We fear there could be more," the official added, and named one of the expelled groups as Medecins Sans Frontieres France.
The arrest warrant issued for President Omar Hassan al-Bashir by the International Criminal Court on Wednesday for atrocities in Sudan's western Darfur region is the first against a sitting head of state by the Hague-based court.
