Monday, 15 June 2026
ADRÉ, Chad, June 14 (AFP): Rising numbers of Chadians fleeing the Sudan war are arriving at the Adre border post in Chad, but funding shortages could force UN agencies on the ground to stop operating.
The civil conflict in Sudan has already cost tens of thousands of lives and forced more than 12 million people to flee their homes, more than a million of them Chadian, according to UN figures.
Government forces and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have been fighting since April 2023.
A steady stream of horse-carts arrived at the Adre border post, under the region's scorching desert sun, during a recent visit by AFP.
