Editor who exposed scandal arrested in Sudan

The editor of a Sudanese paper that revealed a car purchase scandal involving government officials has been arrested. Nhial Bol, editor-in-chief of The Citizen, is accused of libel. His paper reported that a company was paid about £250,000 each for cars worth only £22,000, but the money cannot be traced. A minister in southern Sudan is under investigation. (Via Nairobi Nation)
