Republican presidential candidate Sen. John McCain urged Americans to sell-off any investments they have in Sudan – after media reports revealed his wife Cindy McCain had millions invested in funds owning stocks in firms which allegedly did business with Sudan.

ABC News reports that, “Cindy McCain had sold off those holdings, McCain confirmed Wednesday and said he and his wife had not known the funds had ties to the Sudanese regime, which has armed and supported militias considered responsible for killing, raping and torturing hundreds of thousands of civilians in the country’s Darfur region.”

Mrs. McCain reportedly pulled $2 million from two investment funds owning shares of Indian and Chinese petroleum companies doing business in Sudan. According to Senate disclosure filings, Cindy McCain’s fortune is estimated to be in the $100 million range.

Cindy McCain has not yet released her tax returns to the public. She, recently, cancelled a planned memoir to have been published by Viking.
