Thousands of Arab Sudanese refugees who fled the fighting in Sudan have arrived in Chad but are encountering mistrust and hostility from fellow Sudanese refugees, according to France 24.
The conflict involves the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), whose ranks are largely drawn from Sudan’s Arab communities. Fighters linked to the RSF have been accused of repeatedly targeting civilians from other ethnic groups, which has heightened tensions among Sudanese refugees in Chad.
This mistrust complicates the humanitarian situation in Chad, where many Sudanese have sought refuge from the ongoing violence in their homeland.
