Sudanese refugees waits in line to collect water at Kumer refugee camp, near Maganan, 70 km from the Sudanese border in Ethiopia's Amhara region, on March 1, 2024. Having escaped a raging war at home, Sudanese refugees in Ethiopia face more conflict and insecurity as the border region of Amhara is plagued by unrest and clashes that sees the Ethiopian National Defense Force battling an ethnic Amhara militia known as “Fano”. According to United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) over 100,000 people have crossed into Ethiopia from Sudan since April 2023. Sudanese and other refugees in the border camps in Amhara lament a lack of security, difficult communication with the outside world – the Ethiopian government has disrupted access to mobile internet in the region since August 2023 – and a general sense of abandonment, raising the question if they fled a dire situation to end up in similar one.
