Darfuri refugees in Doro camp displaced since 2004
A number of Darfuri refugees at Doro camp in Upper Nile, South Sudan have told Radio Dabanga about their ongoing suffering and tragedy of displacement after fleeing from Darfur to Blue Nile in search of refuge. They said they were forced to flee again from Blue Nile last September when the government started heavily shelling the state. At first they took shelter in camps in Ethiopia before moving again to Doro camp. They complained of the lack of services and assistance caused by the government’s blockade on humanitarian aid into the camps. The representative of Darfuri refugees in Doro said that war has forced them to be in a constant state of displacement since 2004. He said there are a round 600 families at Doro, many were involved in small trade in Blue Nile but have now become destitute and resigned themselves to refugee status in the camp, rather than being internally displaced in Sudan.
