ADRE, Chad: Hundreds of thousands of people fleeing Sudan’s war have crossed into Chad to find themselves in overcrowded camps, sweltering in plastic huts and awaiting health care that never comes.
One of them, Adam Bakht, is an elderly man with a sparse beard who said he counts “diabetes, asthma and allergies” among his ailments.
But he has received only “an injection to ease the pain,” he told AFP from a camp in Adre, bordering Sudan’s Darfur region which has been gripped by horrific violence.
CAIRO: The head of Sudan’s army warned on Thursday that the northeast African country will be divided if the conflict between the military and rival paramilitary force is not resolved.
Sudan plunged into chaos after monthslong tensions between the military, led by Gen. Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan, and the Rapid Support Forces, commanded by Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, exploded into open fighting on April 15.
