The fighting in Sudan is getting intense and causing a humanitarian crisis, especially for Nigerian students and other international students.
Roundoffnews has reported that the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) estimated 10,000 to 20,000 people, mostly women and children, have fled the conflict in Sudan’s Darfur region to seek refuge in neighboring Chad.
In the meantime, some Nigerian students have mobilised themselves to flee to Ethiopia amid the crisis.
However, according to the Leadership newspaper, “the government warned that it was still dangerous to embark on a journey toward the borders of Sudan without security clearance and guarantee from the Sudanese authorities.
“Earlier, the Embassy of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in Khartoum, the Sudanese capital, signed by the Charge D’ Affairs H.Y Garko, had advised students, who make up about 80 percent of the stranded persons, to stay indoors”. Leadership writes.
