قدرت مفوضية الأمم المتحدة لشؤون اللاجئين عدد اللاجئين الذين لا يزالون عالقين على الحدود بين السودان وتشاد بنحو 239 ألف شخص، محذرة من أنهم معرضون لمخاطر تقلبات الطقس وانعدام الأمن.
وفي إحاطة من الحدود التشادية السودانية للصحفيين في جنيف، أفاد منسق المفوضية في تشاد دوسو باتريس أهوانسو، اليوم (الأربعاء)، بأن عدد اللاجئين القادمين من السودان نحو تشاد تصاعد بشكل كبير منذ تكثيف الهجمات على المدنيين في شمال دارفور في أواخر أبريل الماضي. وقال إن نحو 69 ألف شخص وصلوا إلى تشاد خلال ما يزيد قليلاً عن شهر، وبلغ متوسط من يعبرون الحدود يومياً 1400 شخص في الأيام الأخيرة.
وأضاف باتريس أن هؤلاء المدنيين يفرون تحت النار، ويتنقلون عبر نقاط التفتيش المسلحة والابتزاز والقيود الصارمة التي تفرضها الجماعات المسلحة.
ولفت إلى أن نحو 72% من اللاجئين الذين قابلتهم المفوضية أخيراً أبلغوا عن تعرضهم لانتهاكات جسيمة لحقوق الإنسان، بما فيها العنف الجسدي والجنسي، والاحتجاز التعسفي، والتجنيد القسري، وقال 60% منهم إنهم انفصلوا عن أفراد أسرهم. وحذر من أنه مع استمرار الصراع سيستمر آلاف آخرون في الفرار، ما يعرض الاستقرار الإقليمي والعالمي للخطر.
وعبر أكثر من 844 ألف لاجئ سوداني إلى تشاد، التي كانت تستضيف فعلاً نحو 409 آلاف سوداني فروا من موجات سابقة من الصراع في دارفور منذ بدء الحرب في السودان في أبريل 2023.
ووفقاً للمفوضية، فر 4 ملايين شخص من السودان إلى الدول المجاورة منذ بداية الحرب، ما يمثل نقطة تحول كارثية في أزمة النزوح الأكبر في العالم.
وتخوض قوات الجيش السوداني والدعم السريع منذ منتصف أبريل 2023 حرباً أسفرت عن مقتل أكثر من 20 ألف شخص، ونزوح ولجوء نحو 15 مليوناً، بحسب الأمم المتحدة والسلطات المحلية.

The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees estimated the number of refugees still stranded at the border between Sudan and Chad at around 239,000 people, warning that they are at risk from weather fluctuations and insecurity.
In a briefing on the Chad-Sudan border for journalists in Geneva, the Commission's coordinator in Chad, Dosso Patrice Ahwansu, reported today (Wednesday) that the number of refugees coming from Sudan to Chad has significantly increased since the intensification of attacks on civilians in North Darfur in late April. He stated that about 69,000 people have arrived in Chad over just a little more than a month, with an average of 1,400 people crossing the border daily in recent days.
Patrice added that these civilians are fleeing under fire, moving through armed checkpoints, facing extortion and strict restrictions imposed by armed groups.
He noted that about 72% of the refugees recently interviewed by the Commission reported experiencing serious human rights violations, including physical and sexual violence, arbitrary detention, and forced recruitment, with 60% of them stating that they have been separated from their family members. He warned that as the conflict continues, thousands more will continue to flee, putting regional and global stability at risk.
More than 844,000 Sudanese refugees have crossed into Chad, which was already hosting around 409,000 Sudanese who fled previous waves of conflict in Darfur since the war in Sudan began in April 2023.
According to the Commission, 4 million people have fled Sudan to neighboring countries since the war began, marking a catastrophic turning point in the world's largest displacement crisis.
The Sudanese army and Rapid Support Forces have been engaged in a war since mid-April 2023 that has resulted in the deaths of more than 20,000 people and the displacement and flight of about 15 million, according to the United Nations and local authorities.
