Sat, 12 Apr 2025 03:01:54 GMT While the eastern United States continues to shiver under a raw, damp weather pattern, much of the West is seeing record-breaking warmth.
A UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) official said that one in three Sudanese are displaced, and one in six internally displaced persons globally come from Sudan.
UNHCR’s Regional Director for East and Horn of Africa and Great Lakes Mamadou Dian Balde spoke to reporters today (14 Apr) via video link, on the humanitarian needs inside Sudan and in neighboring countries, as one of the largest displacement crises globally with nearly 13 million people forcibly displaced.
Balde said, “Countries have been hosting refugees. Regional countries, neighboring countries have not closed their borders. They've been receiving the refugees.”
“Communities that don't have enough have shared what they have. And that's really the true spirit of solidarity. And this is what we see happening in the region,” he highlighted
The UNHCR official also said, “as we speak today, over 70,000 have reached Uganda. Uganda has problem of its own, and Uganda has thankfully opened and kept these borders open despite receiving 1.8 million refugees as we speak, they have added to that 70,000 Sudanese refugees and, Libya over 200,000.”
Balde also stressed that only 10 percent of the Regional Refugee Response plan is currently funded.
He called for the support for the 111 partners who are part of the Plan.
The UNHCR official thanked the various partners who have contributed, stressing that however with only 10 per cent of the plan funded reaching the fifth month of the year, “the level of support to have food, to have water, to have protection services, education, shelter, housing, this level of support is going to be extremely, extremely low.”
Balde explained that request of the Regional Refugee Response plan is 1.8 billion US dollars to be able to serve 4.9 million refugees and immediate hosts in neighboring countries.
He added that the 111 partners that are coordinate aid, a third of them are national partners, “people who are closer to the realities, in addition to international NGOs as well as national NGOs and the UN organizations,” the UNHCR official said.
Balde reiterated the need for ceasefire stressing that us that the Sudanese refugees want “a normalcy so that they can return home and take care of themselves.”

Forum on People of African Descent
This morning, the Chef de Cabinet, Courtenay Rattray, spoke to the fourth session of the Permanent Forum on People of African Descent on behalf of the Secretary-General.
He said that the legacies of colonialism and enslavement continue to poison our world and we still bear witness to the scourge of racism. This is true even in artificial intelligence, which too often mirrors and amplifies the same inequalities and racial biases that have plagued us for centuries, he said.
The Secretary-General underscored that we need to eliminate bias from artificial intelligence, and to ensure these technologies advance equality, inclusion and digital justice.
And he stressed that we must continue to address racism in all its forms – particularly where it is embedded in laws, policies and institutions.
Deputy Secretary-General
The Deputy Secretary-General Amina Mohammed will travel to Hanoi, Viet Nam, later today to attend the “Partnering for Green Growth and the Global Goals 2030 Summit” (P4G) on behalf of the Secretary-General. The Summit brings together leaders from the public and private sector as well as civil society to accelerate action towards the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals and to foster climate action.
During her visit, she will meet with senior government officials to strengthen the UN-Vietnam relationship. She will also chair the annual regional retreat with UN Resident Coordinators from across Asia and the Pacific, with a focus on advancing sustainable development in these countries.
She will be back in New York over the weekend.

BBC News Video: More than 400 killed in attack on Sudan’s Darfur region, says UN | BBC News
More than 400 people have been killed in recent attacks by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in Sudan's Darfur region, the UN says, citing "credible sources".
Last week, the RSF launched an intense ground and aerial assault on refugee camps surrounding the city of el-Fasher in an attempt to seize the last state capital in Darfur held by their rival, the Sudanese army.
Sudan's civil war began exactly two years ago, causing what aid agencies call the world's worst humanitarian crisis and forcing millions to flee their homes.

ODN Video: Trump and El Salvadoran President Dismiss ‘Preposterous’ Idea of Returning ‘Terrorist’ to US
El Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele said Monday it's "preposterous" to suggest he return Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Maryland man who was wrongly deported there last month.
Bukele called Abrego Garcia “a terrorist” and insisted he had no power to return Abrego Garcia to the United States.
Trump referred questions about Garcia to Attorney General Pam Bondi, who said he was illegally in the U.S. and that courts have ruled that Abrego Garcia was a member of MS-13.

International Video: US economy: Trump pauses China tech tariffs
Two weeks of escalation, bravado, noise, and then climbdowns and u-turns.
Having started a global trade war, it was the US president who blinked first.
So we find ourselves now with a global 10% tariff on goods imported to America. And then one massive exception: China. Over this weekend more confusion. It emerged that laptops and other electronics wouldn't be hit by tariffs.
But today the US commerce secretary has announced those goods will face their own tariff regime.
