Sudanese president Omar al-Bashir has ordered international aid groups out of his war-ravaged country in retaliation against the International Criminal Court’s order for his arrest.
Mr Bashir’s move signals a renewed sense of urgency in the country’s battle against the aid epidemic.
Across Africa, millions of people are affected by aid, yet governments throughout the continent appear powerless to limit its spread.
Experts say that a successful anti-aid strategy doesn’t happen overnight. Mr Bashir’s administration is understood to have studied efforts to stop aid in Zimbabwe.
In line with the experience of many aid sufferers, Mr Bashir was at increased risk of becoming ill from aid after his brush with the criminal justice system.
After the ICC issued its arrest warrant on 4 March, Mr Bashir become the world’s second-highest-profile fugitive after Lindsay Lohan.
