A surge in inter-communal attacks in West, South and North Darfur states last month forced more people to flee their homes in three days than in the whole of 2020 in Sudan, and the numbers continue to rise, according to a report published last week by the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC)* based in Geneva, Switzerland.
The report refers to the violence that erupted – as extensively reported by Radio Dabanga – between armed militias from the Massalit and Arab communities between 15 and 18 January, triggering about 183,000 new displacements. Most took place in El Geneina in West Darfur, but displacement was also recorded in Gireida and East Jebel Marra in South Darfur and Tawila in North Darfur.
