"The source lauded the support of the government of South Sudan for the Sudanese refugees. “The government stands with the refugees, but does not have the capabilities or resources to provide services and assistance to them.”
"Ethiopia is one of the largest refugee-hosting countries in Africa, with nearly 1 million refugees in addition to 3.5 million displaced persons. Sudanese crossing into Ethiopia are reportedly forced to pay US$80 in visa fees, after which the Ethiopian authorities oblige them to pay US$80 a month to renew their residency."

AJ+ video on Sudanese refugees in Ethiopia as they go on a hunger strike demanding to be treated like humans and calling for international intervention
"the ICC announces that they are calling on people to SEND THEM EVIDENCE of war crimes in Darfur ! this means that all of the RSF videos can all be submitted to them and be used in their case! i will attach evidence below for people to submit to http://otplink.icc-cpi.int en masse"
RE this post about the call to submit evidence to the ICC evidence of war crimes in Darfur
Here is an example of something you can put in the file (you can make it anonymous) and the wording is potentially triggering for the videos and those are for murder and abuse--> i am waiting to see if there is anything more relevant but right now thats what ive submitted:
"For the West, Sudan’s civil war is still flying under the radar. But considering the war broke out in full view and the humanitarian crisis is well documented, the inaction cannot be traced to ignorance of the situation there. The failure to address the crisis, or at least its exacerbating factors, ultimately amounts to a choice."
tumblr post by flower-tea-fairies that reads:
You should be furious that people trying to escape genocide in Gaza, Sudan, Congo all need raise an absurd amount of money just to survive
You should be furious at how these people went through atrocity after atrocity and still need raise tens of thousands of dollars to get away
You should be furious at this insidious thing that completely encapsulates how capitalism feeds off of blood
"My name is Asala, and I am writing to you from a place of safety, but my heart is still with my family who are enduring unimaginable suffering in Sudan. My 18-year-old brother had his life shattered when he was hit in the spinal cord by shrapnel during a bombardment in our civilian neighborhood. The severe injuries required emergency neurosurgery, which saved his life, but his journey toward recovery is far from over. He still has shrapnel lodged under his lungs, awaiting another critical surgery. Without further medical treatment, he may never walk again and could face a lifetime of paralysis.
I am reaching out to you, kind-hearted souls, to help my family escape this nightmare. Your generous donations will go directly to:
