Residents of Dalgo town in Wadi Halfa, in far northern Sudan, organized a protest in front of the local government headquarters, rejecting the reception of displaced people in their areas. Meanwhile, the Darfur Regional Government strongly condemned any attempts or calls to expel displaced people from any area they have sought refuge in within Sudan.
Tens of thousands of newly displaced people fleeing from El Fasher, the capital of North Darfur, have moved to northern Sudan after the Rapid Support Forces took control of the city last October.
The residents’ objections sparked widespread debate on social media, with many expressing strong opposition to the stance, describing it as extreme.
The protesters submitted a memorandum to the administrative director of the local authority, rejecting the establishment of displacement camps in Wadi Halfa localities.
Al-Afada camp in the town of Al-Dabba, Northern State, hosts more than 25,000 people who fled fighting in Darfur and Kordofan. They are facing harsh humanitarian conditions due to shortages of shelter and food.
