Of Note:
-When brought in front of prosecutors, Sudanese refugees are usually cleared of all wrongdoing but deported anyway (sham proceedings)
-The Egyptian military is involved in high-speed chases with refugees near the border that it is misreporting as civilian accidents— Sudanese individuals have been involved in “accidents” that have injured 160 and killed 20 since the Sudan war began. These accidents all happened on rural roads often utilized by refugees entering Egypt, some of whom have reported the military chasing them down by car, firing at them, and torturing their drivers
-An EU fund to keep African refugees out of Europe is helping fund this— the EU funds many North African regimes with human rights abuse records in exchange for their cooperation in keeping African migrants out of Europe. This isn’t the first time this specific fund has aided human rights abuses in the region— the Sudanese military has also used this same EU funding to help arm it during a period of time when it was disappearing and massacring its own citizens during peaceful pro-democracy sit-ins
