July 21, 2024 (ADDIS ABABA) – Two Sudanese refugees were killed in a fresh attack on the Awlala camp in Ethiopia’s Amhara region, marking the second armed incident in less than a week. More than 6,000 Sudanese refugees, including over 2,300 women and children, are in dire conditions within the Amhara region’s Awlala forests. The Sudanese Refugee Coordination Office in the Amhara region issued a press statement condemning the attack and confirming casualties. There’s growing resentment among refugees towards the perceived neglect by the Sudanese embassy in Addis Ababa. Following the initial attack, refugees reported a complete lack of response from the Sudanese embassy in Addis Ababa.
