Kinshasa (Fides Service) - Thousands of refugees, forced several years ago to abandon their homes in Sudan because of war, are now moving once again because of violence in north east Democratic Congo. Local sources say that mover 17,000 displaced Sudanese who had sought shelter in Ituri province, mostly women and children, have gathered their few belongings and taken once more to the road. Sudanese refugees first began to arrive 12 years ago and many had settled well into the local communities here. Now they will have to start all over again, who knows where. Ituri region has been for years the scene of tribal clashes between Hemas shepherds and Lenu, subsistence farmers. We ask, in the face of yet another African tragedy: "Why is the media silent? Where do we draw the line between indifference and complicity?" (Fides Service 28/10/2002)
