US EditionUS envoy in Chad to spotlight Sudan atrocities she calls 'reminiscent' of Darfur 2004
- The United States envoy to the United Nations, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, has arrived in Chad to meet Sudanese refugees who have fled ethnic and sexual violence in Darfur. Thomas-Greenfield describes the situation as "reminiscent" of the atrocities that led to the United States declaring a genocide in 2004. She plans to visit Chad's border with Darfur to raise awareness of the worsening conflict and humanitarian crisis.
- War broke out in Sudan on April 15, following the ousting of former President Omar al-Bashir. Tensions between the army and paramilitary Rapid Support Forces erupted into fighting over a plan to transition to civilian rule. The United Nations reports that since the start of the Sudan war, approximately 380,000 refugees have fled to Chad, and hundreds of thousands more have sought refuge in other neighboring countries.
- The United Nations and aid organizations are urgently appealing for funding to provide aid and protection to the refugees. The UNHCR has requested $1 billion to support the more than 1.8 million people expected to flee Sudan this year. Griffiths, the U.N. Aid chief, emphasizes the critical need for immediate action to prevent starvation and provide assistance to those affected by violence in Sudan.
