Sudanese refugee women in Uganda pay a complaint once

Follow-up- Al-Zawiya Net- Sudanese women in Uganda have suspected the interruption of financial aid, high education fees, and the lack of a health center in a camp that houses most Sudanese refugees.

Uganda hosts more than 75,000 Sudanese refugees, most of whom reside in the northern Crindogo camp, out of 3.9 million people who crossed the border since the conflict erupted on April 15, 2023 in search of safety.

And Sudanese refugee women held a meeting yesterday, Saturday, with the head of the Democratic Civil Alliance of the Revolutionary Forces, “Samoud”, Abdullah Hamdouk, in the capital, Kampala.

During the meeting, the refugees presented challenges facing the Sudanese refugees, which are the stopping of financial aid from the United Nations since the beginning of this May, and the transfer of asylum procedures for those coming from Sudan to the New Manzi camp on the borders of South Sudan instead of Krendingo.

Sudanese women complained that large numbers of refugee children have not entered school since their arrival in Uganda, due to the high tuition fees.

They showed that they were not satisfied with the absence of a hospital or health center inside the Krendingo camp in Bayali, which caused the abortion of dozens of women on the way to the city, and also complained about the high burial fees for the dead.

They criticized the non -representation of women by 40% in the coalition structures, and called for the support of the women’s sector in “steadfastness” to work and coordinate between women’s groups to agree on a common agenda.

Women demanded the head of the “Samoud” coalition to communicate with the Ugandan government to activate emergency education through Sudanese refugee schools in Kampala and Krindingo camp, and to return resorting procedures to the Crindingo camp instead of New Manzi.

Abdullah Hamdouk pledged to women to find solutions to all the problems facing Sudanese refugees with the Ugandan government during the coming period, and to coordinate with organizations and supporters to alleviate the suffering of Sudanese refugees in all neighboring countries.

He stressed that the coalition seeks to stop the existing conflict, stressing that there is no victor in the war.

He asked, “If this result is, then why insist on continuing the suffering of our people inside and outside Sudan? There can be no one who wants to continue the war.”

Hamdouk called for the necessity of expanding the Civil Front to stop the war, without stipulating their presence in one organization, explaining that the most important thing is that there is a willingness to coordinate in the agenda, noting that women are the best in playing the role of coordination between all groups.
