Sudan Needs $150 Million to Tackle Refugee Crisis Some $150 million is needed to tackle the refugee crisis in Sudan, the UN Refugee Agency boss said on Saturday, Nov. 28. Tens of thousands of Ethiopians have fled from the embattled northern Tigray region to seek refuge in Sudan, and UN High Commissioner for Refugees Filipo Grandi appealed for donor support during a visit to a refugee camp in Sudan, AfricaNews reported on Sunday, Nov. 29. ''Five hundred people per day,” Grandi said. “This is what we got in the last few days. Five, six hundred refugees coming into the country per day. In rich countries, this would bring governments down. In here, the government of Sudan has kept the border open. UNHCR, the UN and humanitarian community need about 150 million dollars for the next six months to help the government of Sudan manage this refugee crisis." The Tigray conflict broke out on Nov. 4 between Ethiopia's federal forces and leaders of the region's ruling party. Sudan has since become a refuge for over 43,000 Ethiopian refugees fleeing from the intense fighting. The East African nation is accommodating the mass refugee influx as it struggles with its own economic crisis. The country is also going through a fragile transition since the April 2019 ouster of long serving-leader Omar al-Bashir, after unprecedented mass protests, triggered by economic hardship. Meanwhile, Ethiopia’s army said on Saturday that it had taken control of Mekele, the capital of the embattled northern Tigray region and officials said they were now hunting for the dissident leaders. The announcement came after heavy shelling was reported in Mekele. Ethiopian Chief of General Staff Berhanu Jula [OB1] told the press that over 7,000 soldiers have been freed. "We are looking for anti-peace forces hiding in every nook and cranny,” Jula said. “We freed more than 7,000 North division soldiers. We control our North division camp and all tanks and heavy weapons." Earlier on Saturday, the local government said that heavy shelling had rocked the center of Mekele.This statement was confirmed by two humanitarian officials with staff in the city, AFP reported. More than three weeks of fighting in Tigray has left thousands of people dead, with tens of thousands more fleeing to Sudan for refuge. Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, winner of last year's Nobel Peace Prize, announced Nov. 4 that he had ordered military operations against the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF). On Thursday, he ordered a "final" offensive against the Tigray military. The TPLF was contacted Saturday after the army's statement but could not be reached immediately. WI

The swift deportation of 160 Venezuelans by Trinidad’s Ministry of National Security late Saturday came on the cusp of a planned meeting between Prime Minister Dr. Keith Rowley and Venezuela's President Nicholas Maduro. The deportation also follows the fiasco last week in which 27 Venezuelans, including 16 minors, were escorted back to Venezuela on the order of Trinidad officials last Sunday, only to return two days later. That incident, which has attracted international headlines, prompted Maduro to request a meeting with the Trinidad &Tobago government to address matters of "security, human mobility, crime, and drug trafficking," according to a tweet posted by Venezuela's Foreign Affairs Minister Jorge Arreaza. The time and details of that meeting are yet to be ironed out. Trinidad & Tobago Minister of National Security Stuart Young in a media release on Saturday stated that it had come to his attention, via a media report, that certain lawyers approached a High Court Judge and that the judge made certain orders pertaining to some Venezuelans who are in T&T illegally. Young said the state was not represented at this hearing and he has spoken to Attorney General Faris Al-Rawi for this particular matter to be appropriately addressed. In a statement to Guardian Media, Al-Rawi said the office of the attorney general has noticed unconfirmed reports in the media that proceedings were allegedly filed in High Court on Saturday relative to immigration and deportation matters. “I can confirm that no proceedings have been served on the Attorney General, Minister of National Security or even the Immigration authorities as far as I am aware, and have been advised nor has for that matter, any order as reported in the media been served upon us,” Al-Rawi said. “If there are indeed proceedings they may have been filed and heard ex-parte without the State’s involvement.” WI
