condemns Darfur expulsions

Some 2.7 million people are receiving aid in Darfur after being forced from their homes.
The UN estimates that 300,000 people have died, since black African rebels took up arms in 2003 against the Arab-dominated regime demanding a greater share of resources and power.
President Bashir on Sunday made a defiant visit to Darfur and warned all foreign workers to obey Sudan's laws or face expulsion.
The ICC issued a warrant for Mr Bashir on 4 March, accusing him of two counts of war crimes and five crimes against humanity in Darfur.
It is the court's first indictment against a serving president.
Mr Bashir has always denied that his government helped mobilise the Janjaweed militias accused of the worst atrocities against civilians.
Sudan, the African Union [AU] and the Arab League have all urged the UN Security Council to use its powers to defer the arrest warrant, saying it could further destabilise Darfur.
After meeting Mr Bashir in Khartoum on Monday, AU Commission chairman Jean Ping said: "It is clear that the decision of the ICC undermined and jeopardised... reconciliation in Darfur."
