Shafaqna English- About 6,000 people were displaced from seven villages in Sudan’s West Darfur state in one day, according to the International Organization for Migration (IOM).
The UN agency said in a statement that 5,975 people fled the villages of Lakisa, Rofeid, Shibeit Ardu, Um Ghadara, Hajar Sangeid, Salamtar and Abu Suruj in Sirba locality on Sunday because of “deteriorating security conditions.”
Most households crossed the border into Chad, while others sought refuge in locations within El Geneina locality, the capital of West Darfur, it added.
The situation remains tense, the agency said, noting that it continues to monitor developments closely.
