Mass Exodus of Sudanese Refugees Continues Amidst Dire Conditions and Ethnic Tensions.

Sudanese civilians are fleeing the country as fighting between the army and paramilitary forces continues, with many attempting to reach neighbouring Saudi Arabia and Ethiopia. Tens of thousands have made their way to Chad, South Sudan, and Egypt, with reports of a tenfold increase in the price of bus tickets from the Sudanese capital to the border with Egypt. Meanwhile, thousands of Sudanese civilians are seeking to reach Ethiopia via the city of Gedarif, with only those with a valid visa allowed entry. Observers have called on the UN refugee agency to do more to assist Sudanese people fleeing the violence.
