Growing Concerns Over Forced Displacements in Horn of Africa
With the humanitarian situations in Sudan, Ethiopia, and the Democratic Republic of Congo raging on, East African leaders want to examine and address the wide range of factors that are forcing people from their homes. These calls came during a four-day ministerial conference held by the Inter-governmental Authority (IGAD) in Kampala, Ugandan.
The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) has also expressed concern about the situation in Sudan saying it is deeply worrying for the United Nations as the latest figures show it helped swell the worldwide displacement total to an estimated 110 million in May. The latest figures of people that have left Sudan, mostly Sudanese nationals, but also some refugees in Sudan from other countries that go back to their country, is more than 450,000 with Egypt seeing a huge number of refugee influx.
Uganda is currently hosting more than 1.5 million refugees, the largest population in Africa. The UN agency also pointed out that Chad is in a complicated and fragile political transition as it borders complex countries like the Central African Republic and Libya in the Lake Chad region.
