Day 113 - July 29th

- IDPs are accusing the national NGOs in Darfur ‘to merchandise their sufferings’, while gaining large amounts of money for their own benefits. One IDP leader in Abu Shouk camp told Radio Dabanga in detail how Zubair Charity is marketing the suffering of the IDPs to receive considerable money to siphon it. He says that the Zubair organization brought clothing for 2000 people. The packs were well wrapped and brought to the camp leaders. The charity stayed until they were filmed and photographed, but left before they unpacked the aid. After opening the parcels the clothes were dilapidated and turned out to be rags. After asking for explanation, the Zubair Charity refused to come back. The national aid campaign by Sudanese NGO’s started after 13 international NGOs were expelled from Darfur after the indictment of President Omar al Bashir.
