Sudanese refugees flee to Chad amid fatal air strikes

The first stop for many Sudanese refugees fleeing deadly land attacks and air strikes in Sudan is a remote mobile medical clinic along the border with Chad, run by MSF. The civil war of Sudan enters its third year, and the increasing air strikes were a record factor for many refugees who are now fleeing the country for safety in the neighboring Chad.

“I am always afraid of planes,” said Cobra Abdullah Dawud, 25, a Sudanese refugee who had crossed the border alone with her 11 -month -old daughter. Soon by the employees of the doctors who had no employees in a temporary clinic, steps away from the border, as they told them that she had fled from the capital of Darfur, Lashir, after she killed her brother’s air strike. She said it was a drone attack by the semi -military rapid support forces, RSF

“Since the Sudanese Armed Forces have made progress in Khartoum, we have seen more (RSF) heading towards Darfur,” said Kate Hickson, Director of Da`wah in Africa, in sub -Saharan Africa. “Wherever RSF, we saw burning villages, prohibiting aid, and sexual violence related to conflict, and we expect an increase in the coming weeks.”

While Ms. Hixon notes an expected increase in land attacks as RSF reimpondes into her Darfur stronghold, she said that the air strikes on both sides of the war were a factor in the last displacement.

In recent months, the influx of refugees to the area has pushed unlimited doctors to increase its services along the northern rural border areas in Chad. The survivors who recently escaped from the Darfur region of the New York Times described how the army raids will be followed by the Sudan army shortly after the hacking of RSF fighters their villages or markets.

“RSF was mixing the village, (and then) would hit (the Sudanese army),” said Fiza Adam Yajoub, 38, from Saraf Ora at the refugee camp in Adri, Chad. “But RSF will be able to escape, and it was the poor who were beaten.”

Recently on March 25, a Sudanese military air strike in the small village of Tora in North Darfur At least 54 people were killed Dozens were wounded, according to local monitoring groups, which described the attack as a war crime – an accusation that denied the army. The RSF fighters and their allied militias also accused the targeting of civilians.

The army and RSF were involved in a brutal civil war that killed nearly 20,000 civilians and explained more than 12 million people, according to the United Nations, which indicated that the situation is getting worse only.
