Chad's refugee crisis is worsening because of the war in neighbouring Sudan . More than 600,000 refugees have crossed the border from Darfur since the war began in April last year. in Sudan , into Chad.

Its fighters swept across Darfur last autumn and now hold four of the region’s five major cities. “Everyone is expecting an attack at any moment,” said Dawalbait Mohamed, an El Fasher resident who fled the city last year, and said he was in constant touch with his parents and siblings left behind. “It seems inevitable.”Before Sudan plunged into war, RSF leaders had tried to shed their reputations for ruthlessness – although it returned in the past year, amid reports of massacres and looting.
“As I’ve said before, history is repeating itself in Darfur in the worst possible way,” Thomas-Greenfield said. On Monday, the Russian deputy foreign minister, Mikhail Bogdanov, was in Port Sudan for meetings with Sudanese military and civilian leaders. Russia’s Wagner group supplied missiles to the RSF in the early weeks of the war. The Kremlin has long coveted access to the Red Sea in Sudan.
