United Nations humanitarian agencies say they are concerned by the Sudanese Government's abrupt transfer of more than 5,000 internally displaced people (IDPs) in the war-torn Darfur region from one IDP camp to another without any consultation or advance warning. Between Wednesday evening and last Thursday lunchtime, about 1,000 families were transported by Sudanese authorities from a camp at Meshtel to a more established camp at Abu Shouk, UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric said.
