ETHIOPIA-SUDAN: Thousands of Anyuak flee to Sudan

Violence in western Ethiopia erupted in December when the Anyuak were blamed for an attack on a UN-plated vehicle carrying government officials to Odier, a proposed site for a camp for Dinka and Nuer Sudanese refugees. Since then, it is estimated that about 15,000 members of the Anyuak community have fled to Sudan. If the refugees stay in Pachala, it will result in a 30 to 50 % increase in the county's population, according to World Relief.
