The Sudanese government today announced that all refugees from the
Sudan were free to go anywhere they wish except Israel.  Thus
Ethiopian Jews will be able to fly to Israel with a short stop in some
convenient European city.

	Not so good is the news I read in Monday's (1/21/85) Wall Street
Journal:  "At least 1,800 Ethiopian Jews died in Sudan's desert while
fleeing their drought-stricken country's famine for a promised new home
 in Israel, published reports in Britain and the U.S. said.  Israel's
secret "Operation Moses" airlift was halted Jan. 6 after it was disclosed
that about 7,000 Ethiopian Jews had been taken to Israel."  No other
details were reported in this article.  Does anyone have additional 
information?
