The United Nations World Food Program is reportedly investigating two of its top officials in hunger-plagued Sudan for fraud, including efforts to conceal the role of the Sudanese army in obstructing humanitarian aid.Reuters on Wednesday that long-simmering concerns about mismanagement of the Sudan project finally sparked an investigation after portions of the Darfur region were officially classified as being subject to famine last month.
The food crisis in Sudan is exacerbated by the huge number of civilians displaced by fighting between al-Burhan’s and Dagalo’s forces. The International Organization for Migration says almost 11 million people have been displaced by the civil war. About two million of those displaced persons fled across national borders. The others are struggling to survive in areas where already primitive and overtaxed infrastructure has been completely destroyed.
The other senior WFP official under investigation, Mohammed Ali, is under scrutiny for the mysterious disappearance of some 200,000 liters of fuel for WFP vehicles. The fuel vanished from Kosti, one of Sudan’s largest cities.
