Refugees from Northern Sudan are Fleeing to the South to Find No Food, No Water, No Hope
After Southern Sudan voted for independence, thousands of Christian southerns who had migrated to the Islamic North for work are now fleeing Northern Sudan fearing oppression. In southern towns like Wau, food prices have skyrocketed. Jobs are scarce. And more people are arriving every day.

These refugees, many of whom had migrated north for jobs, are fleeing back to the south after Southern Sudan voted for independence just a few months ago. Also, street children in the north are being rounded up and trucked to the south. And the desperate reality these refugees face is that food prices have skyrocketed. Jobs are scarce. And thousands more people are arriving every day.
