The Sudanese government has strongly condemned the attempt to abduct and traffic the 100 children, some of whom are Sudanese children living in refugee camps.

Sudan's Foreign Ministry describes the attempt as a flagrant violation of the principles of international laws, including the Hague Convention on Adoption of Children. Sudan is calling on the French government to take action to prohibit French organizations from carrying out such acts.
