February 12, 2018 Sudan: Perilous Crossroads on Refugee Map
Sudan is one of the central crossroads for African migrant journeys, particularly
for refugees from Eritrea and other counties in the Horn of Africa.
The international media spotlight falls most often on the deadly crossing of the
Mediterranean or slave auctions in the Libyan dessert. But the vulnerability and
deadly perils facing those forced to flee by war, repression, or the struggle for
economic survival extends to a far wider terrain, of which Sudan is one example.
June 15, 2015 Eritrea: "Rule of Fear, Not Law"
"Citing an array of human rights violations on a scope and scale
seldom witnessed elsewhere, the report by the UN Commission of
Inquiry on Human Rights in Eritrea describes a totalitarian state
bent on controlling Eritreans through a vast security apparatus that
has penetrated all levels of society. 'Information gathered through
the pervasive control system is used in absolute arbitrariness to
keep the population in a state of permanent anxiety,' the 500-page
report says. 'It is not law that rules Eritreans - but fear.' -

May 12, 2011 Eritrea: Refugees and Responsibility
"If refugee flows are a sign of political meltdown, then
Eritrea is a level seven nuclear disaster. Figures from the
United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees indicate that
Eritrea, with a population of only about five million, has
been among the top ten refugee producing countries in the
world for the better part of the decade." - Tricia Redeker
