WFP says two top staff to be expelled from Sudan

ROME: The UN’s World Food Programme (WFP) said Wednesday that its two top staff in Sudan had been ordered to leave the war-torn country by the foreign ministry. The country director and emergency coordinator “have been designated as persona non grata, and asked to leave the country within 72 hours, without any explanation,” the Rome-based agency said in a statement. WFP and senior UN officials were engaging with Sudanese authorities to protest the decision, which came “at a pivotal time,” it said.
