Sudan: Government rejects allegations of forcing people out of oil areas
Text of report by Sudanese newspaper Al-Ra'y al-Amm, in Arabic, on 16 March

The government yesterday challenged a new campaign aimed at urging foreign companies working in the area of oil industry to leave the country, alleging that there is a government policy to terrorize the citizens and force them to vacate their places of residence in the areas of oil investment.

The ruling National Congress (NC) described the talk by some Western quarters of fabricated wars in the oil areas with the aim of displacing the population as an attempt to affect the investors in the area of oil and prevent them from coming to Sudan.

The NC secretary-general, Dr Ibrahim Ahmad Umar, pointed out that oil was being produced by a consortium of Chinese, Canadian and Malaysian firms, along with the government. He added that fabrication of war in such a situation was impossible. Umar said some quarters supporting the rebel movement had become apprehensive of the expected development due to the successful investment in oil industry.

The Sudanese organization for human rights strongly criticized the allegations by the British charity Christian Aid that the government was pursuing a systematic policy to empty the oil rich areas of its population.
