and two neighbouring countries that are dealing with a large number of refugees in the wake of a violent crisis.
Nearly $31 million will go toward Sudan, while slightly more will be sent to South Sudan, which seceded from that country in 2011. He said Canada will be pledging more money after he makes a visit to the region, likely at the end of this month for the African Development Bank’s general meetings in Egypt. Sajjan added he hopes to visit Chad and speak with officials from the African Union, which is based in Ethiopia.By that point, he said it should be clearer which countries have ended up hosting people who are displaced and trying to find safety.
Sajjan said the funding is flexibly structured so groups can scale up existing programs to meet huge flows of people fleeing a devastating escalation in violence that started in Sudan on April 15.A battle for control of the country erupted after months of escalating tensions between the military and a rival paramilitary group called the Rapid Support Forces, turning the capital of Khartoum into a war zone and leading western countries to evacuate their citizens.
