Sudan paper shut for a day by government dictat

A group of Sudanese journalists staged a protest in the capital, Khartoum, on Saturday against a decision to shut down a daily paper for one day. The government ordered the shut-down of A-Sudani after a columnist criticised President 'Umar Al-Bashir because of his insistence on rejecting United Nations peacekeeping forces in the war-torn Darfur region.
