Fact sheet 2011 EDUCATION
Sudanese refugees in Ethiopia As of January 2011, 21.400 Sudanese are being assisted by UNHCR in the two camps Fugnido and Sherkole on the Sudanese-Ethiopian border. Sudan gained independence in 1956. Years of war between the gouvernment and rebel groups striving for political autonomy have caused the death of thousands and the forced displacement of about 3 million people. The crisis in Darfour, western Sudan, has led to some of the worst human rights violations. After years of conflict, South Sudan became independent in 2011. In its neighbouring state, Blue Nile, a fighting between the Sudanese Armed Forces and members of the Sudanese People’s Liberation Movement (North) broke out in September 2011. While Ethiopia has been accommodating more than 26.000 Sudanese refugees in the two camps Fugnido in Gambella region and Sherkole in the Benishangul Gumuz region, the volatile situation is currently forcing thousands of Sudanese to seek security in Ethiopia.
