UN: Tens of Thousands Flee as Sudan Conflict Spreads East from Darfur
Tens of thousands of Sudanese civilians have fled towns and villages in a sprawling region east of Darfur, the United Nations said, just over a week after paramilitary forces overran the city of El-Fasher.
The UN's migration agency said in a statement late Sunday that an estimated 36,825 people have fled five localities in North Kordofan, a region a few hundred kilometers east of Darfur, where the Rapid Support Forces captured the last major army stronghold last week.
