Sudanese refugees flee bandits, militias in Ethiopian forest

Amidst ongoing attacks by local militias on United Nations-run refugee camps in Sudan, thousands of Sudanese refugees have sought refuge in a forest near Ethiopia’s border. These refugees, who fled from the violence in May, live alongside “wild animals” due to the dangers they face.

With limited resources and insufficient healthcare in the camps, the refugees have been left vulnerable. Reports of rampant attacks, including robberies, rapes, and kidnappings, have driven these individuals to demand evacuation from Ethiopia.

Despite the dire conditions, their pleas for help seem to be falling on deaf ears. The refugees’ safety and well-being continue to be compromised, highlighting the need for urgent action and support from humanitarian organizations.

As these individuals struggle to survive in harsh conditions, the call for assistance grows louder. It’s crucial that the international community steps in to address the plight of these vulnerable refugees and ensure their safety and protection.
