Darfurian Refugees in Northern Bahr El Ghazel

From Joseph...

Darfur conflict has caused about million refugees to flee their homes and their houses which have been destroyed by the Arab militia who are accused by the international community as ethnic cleansing.

Some 200,000 have also sought refuge in neighboring countries like Chad.
These people have seek refuge in northern Bahr Al Ghazel in places like Awiel East county towns like Waynjok. Others camp along the border about 600 km stretch of the border between Chad and Sudan.

It is a wide area which cannot be helped by international NGOs. These Darfurian refugees need more help in terms of food, for short and long period. This period of the year is a period of farming which is started towards the end of May up to the harvest time in the end of October. (And there is a shortage of food at this time)

They also need, shelter, medication as well as the local community in Awiel. These people which took refuge during the civil war in Northern Bahr El Ghazel now are the ones who are helping their brothers from the Darfur region. They settle among themselves, they receive them as brothers and sisters.

These settlements need help from the government, need help from local communities, the conditions which they have experienced are the same as the Darfurians themselves.

Many Darfurians during the conflict have died of war, diseases, as well as hunger in the last 3 years. Many international humanitarian organizations are trying to solve some of their problems but unfortunately they are denied access to the region by the Sudanese government.

Imagine the situation the Darfurians are experiencing – it is like the southern Sudanese themselves in the last two decades.

Christian leaders are working hand in hand with these refugees inside northern Bahr El Ghazel with his limited resources they have decided to give some medication to these refugees, as well as food. After Steve John Blacket hear this he realized this mission needs help and he put his hand and heart that people in Australia should also put some assistance to the mission among the Darfurian refugees.

The situation needs a long term solution. But the resources are so limited. We need support from our friends in Australia. We have been hearing problems and crisis in Darfur. This is the time we should put our hands together to help these brothers reach our Moslim brothers in Darfur.
