Kango Haraza
Konga Haraza () is a village located southwest of Geneina, West Darfur, Sudan, near the Chad–Sudan border. Since the 1950s, Kango Haraza has been one of the gathering points for cattle grazers from northern and southern Darfur and Chad, particularly from January to July. In March 2009, a Sudanese aid worker was shot and killed in Kango Haraza. As of September 2019, it hosted an internally displaced persons camp, according to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. Following the breakout of the war in Sudan in April 2023, thousands of people fled Kango Haraza and crossed into Chad. The village gained prominence due to the conflict in the Darfur region, where violence and displacement forced many residents to flee. Massacres have been reported in the village during the Battle of Geneina. As of May 2023, there are numerous reports discussing the flight of refugees from Konga Haraza due to fighting and violence in the region. The conflict in Darfur led to a humani ...

Refugees Of Sudan
Sudanese refugees are people originating from the country of Sudan, seeking refuge outside the borders of their native country. In recent history, Sudan has been the stage for prolonged conflicts and civil wars, as well as environmental changes, namely desertification. These forces have resulted not only in violence and famine but also the forced migration of large numbers of the Sudanese population, both inside and outside the country's borders. Given the expansive geographic territory of Sudan, and the regional and ethnic tensions and conflicts, much of the forced migration in Sudan has been internal. Yet, these populations are not immune to similar issues that typically accompany refugeedom, including economic hardship and providing themselves and their families with sustenance and basic needs. With the creation of a South Sudanese state, questions surrounding southern Sudanese IDPs may become questions of South Sudanese refugees. Reasons for fleeing The movement of population ...

Humanitarian Impact Of The 2023 Sudan Conflict
Humanitarianism is an ideology centered on the value of human life, whereby humans practice benevolent treatment and provide assistance to other humans to reduce suffering and improve the conditions of humanity for moral, altruistic, and emotional reasons. One aspect involves voluntary emergency aid overlapping with human rights advocacy, actions taken by governments, development assistance, and domestic philanthropy. Other critical issues include correlation with religious beliefs, motivation of aid between altruism, market affinity, social control imperialism and neo-colonialism, gender and class relations, and humanitarian agencies. A practitioner is known as a humanitarian. While humanitarianism on a local and national level can be traced far back in history, scholars of international politics tend to identify the advent of global humanitarian impulses to the 19th century. The creation of the International Red Cross in 1863 is considered a key juncture in global humanitaria ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

War In Darfur
The War in Darfur, also nicknamed the Land Cruiser War, was a major armed conflict in the Darfur region of Sudan that began in February 2003 when the Sudan Liberation Movement/Army, Sudan Liberation Movement (SLM) and the Justice and Equality Movement (JEM) rebel groups began fighting against the government of Sudan, which they accused of oppressing Darfur's non-Arab population. The government responded to attacks by carrying out a campaign of ethnic cleansing against Darfur's non-Arabs. This resulted in the death of hundreds of thousands of civilians and the indictment of Sudan's president, Omar al-Bashir, for Darfur genocide, genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity by the International Criminal Court. One side of the conflict is mainly composed of the Sudanese military, police, and the Janjaweed, a Sudanese militia group whose members are mostly recruited among Arabization, Arabized indigenous Africans and a small number of Bedouin of the northern Rizeigat; the ma ...
