KHARTOUM: Sudanese security detained the country head of an international aid agency on Monday after authorities issued a warrant for his arrest over a report on hundreds of rapes in the Darfur region, the agency said. Security forces detained Paul Foreman, country head of the Dutch branch of aid agency Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF), but it was not clear whether he had been arrested or taken away for questioning, the agency’s office in Khartoum said. It was the first such action taken against an aid agency chief since the start of Darfur conflict in 2003.—Reuters
