SUDAN - Complex Emergency
Situation Report #1, Fiscal Year (FY) 1998 -- May 5, 1998 Note: The last
situation report was dated September 2, 1997.
BACKGROUND
Fighting began in 1983 between the Government of Sudan (GOS) and the Sudan
People's Liberation Army/Movement (SPLA/M) when the southern opposition
movement demanded more influence in the government and protested GOS
efforts to impose Islamic laws on the Christian and animist south. In
1991, intensified fighting erupted between SPLA factions in areas of the
south. The conflict continues today and civilians throughout the south
and the transitional zone (i.e. southern Darfur, southern Kordofan, and
southern Blue Nile area) are directly affected by GOS aerial bombings and
forced relocations due to fighting. The ongoing insecurity and population
displacement has not only interrupted or destroyed most of the indigenous
trading and productive systems, but has also been a major impediment to
relief efforts. The United Nations (U.N.) and numerous non-governmental
organizations (NGO) within and outside the framework of Operation Lifeline
Sudan (OLS) are delivering relief assistance by airlifts, airdrops,
barges, trains, and truck convoys. In the more secure areas of southern
Sudan, efforts to rehabilitate and restore self-sufficiency are underway.
NUMBERS AFFECTED AT A GLANCE:
Figures listed are U.N. Humanitarian Coordination Unit (UNHCU) and U.N.
High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) estimates.
Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs): 4 million, including 2.2 million in
Khartoum and 1.8 million in the transitional zone and southern areas.
Refugees: 175,000 Sudanese refugees in Uganda, 110,000 in the Democratic
Republic of Congo (formerly Zaire), 78,000 in Ethiopia, 28,000 in Kenya
and 27,000 in the Central African Republic. 349,000 Eritreans, 51,000
Ethiopians, 4,400 Chadians, and 10,000 refugees of various origins
currently in Sudan.
Total U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) Assistance for FY
1998 (to date) -- $39,088,102
CURRENT SITUATION
Thousands in Need of Assistance in Bahr el Ghazal. According to recent
U.N. estimates, 380,000 people in Bahr el Ghazal/Lakes Region are facing a
humanitarian crisis due to persistent fighting and widespread drought.
Among the affected are at least 100,000 civilians, mainly women and
children, displaced following a SPLA offensive launched on the region in
late January 1998. Many displaced have no access to water, shelter
materials, and food other than wild fruits, and seeds and tools are in
short supply during the current planting season. Severe malnutrition and
cases of diarrheal diseases have already been reported, and more than 20
people, mostly children and the elderly, have reportedly died of hunger.
Additionally, the communities where the IDPs have settled are unable to
cope with the influx. Bahr el Ghazal/Lakes Region, which has a population
of about 1.9 million--about one-half of the population in southern
Sudan--was experiencing a severe food deficit due to drought in 1997 and
prolonged instability due to conflict when this crisis hit. The area has
been a focus of humanitarian assistance for years. OLS is providing
urgently-needed food- and non-food stocks to affected people, despite
limited resources and GOS-imposed flight restrictions. The OLS response
is managed from a logistical base in the northern Kenyan town of
Lokichokio.
In addition to the ongoing crisis in Bahr el Ghazal, populations in Upper
Nile and Equatoria are experiencing critical food shortages due to
insecurity, which has prevented access to food.
According to the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), over 1.2
million war-displaced civilians will remain in need of emergency food- and
non-food assistance in 1997/98 due to regional insecurity, sporadic and
inadequate rainfall last year, flooding in some areas, and pest
infestation. Combined with deteriorated livelihood systems and rising
insecurity, this low output will seriously affect vulnerable households.
Although production surpluses are anticipated in eastern and central Sudan
and some areas in Western Equatoria, food shortages are expected in the
northern parts of Kordofan, Darfur, Lakes and Eastern Equatoria regions.
These areas, especially North Darfur, will require food aid and seeds and
tools, particularly during the upcoming planting season. In the
short-term, OLS is targeting approximately 700,000 people facing severe
food shortages in south Sudan.
POLITICAL/MILITARY SITUATION
SPLA Offensives on the Rise. The security situation has stabilized in Wau
and Aweil in Bahr el Ghazal since intense fighting erupted in late
January. Kerubino Kwanyin Bol, a former senior SPLA commander who had
been allied with the GOS in recent years but re-defected to the SPLA side,
led the attack on Wau and Aweil. Both towns remain in GOS control. GOS
and opposition forces under the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) are
fighting in the Blue Nile area. The GOS and SPLA have increased their
military presence near the Ugandan border and around the GOS-controlled
towns of Juba and Torit, Eastern Equatoria, in recent months. Late last
year, the SPLA appeared intent on capturing Juba, the largest town in the
south. Since mid-October, there has been heightened military activity in
South Kordofan, with some SPLA gains. Certain areas in Upper Nile are
inaccessible due to fighting.
GOS Attacks Civilian Locations. More than 20 civilians have been killed
by GOS aerial attacks on SPLA-held areas since the SPLA offensive on Wau
was launched in January. On March 5, a GOS plane dropped 13 bombs on a
hospital in Yei, of which five hit the hospital directly, destroying the
operating theater and an evacuation bunker in the hospital grounds.
Fifteen people working in the hospital were killed and another 40 were
seriously injured. The 100-bed hospital, run by Norwegian People's Aid
(NPA), treats civilians, SPLA soldiers, and GOS prisoners of war. NPA was
renovating the hospital with a BHR/OFDA grant of more than $100,000 prior
to the attack. Services at the hospital were brought to a standstill by
the air raid. GOS planes have carried out around 12 bombing raids on Yei
from bases in Juba since the SPLA captured the town in March 1997. Five
people, including a nurse, were killed during the last bombing. Two other
hospitals in the SPLA-held towns of Labone and Chukudum, Eastern
Equatoria, were attacked in February. In March, the GOS bombed Keyalla in
Eastern Equatoria, killing one person and wounding three others. Renewed
tension has caused significant population displacement in Eastern
Equatoria, mainly to camps in Uganda and Kenya.
There have been four GOS bombings on civilian targets in Bahr el Ghazal
since January. Two of these bombing attacks occurred while OLS personnel
were on the ground. The number of civilian casualties is unknown.
U.N.-owned radio equipment continue to be restricted by the GOS in both
Juba and Wau.
IGAD Peace Negotiations to Resume. Following a resumption of negotiations
under the aegis of Inter-Governmental Authority on Development (IGAD) in
October/November, the GOS and SPLA issued a joint communique in which they
accepted that a military solution cannot bring lasting peace and stability
in the country. The talks resumed in Nairobi, Kenya, on May 4, with both
sides warning that a cessation of hostilities was unlikely. In
preparation for the talks, the ruling National Assembly has voted, upon
the request of Sudanese President Omar Hassan el Bashir, on a draft
constitution. The proposed constitution favors a wide range of freedoms
including freedom of speech, religion and association, but not the freedom
to form political parties, a key demand of many southern Sudanese. It
would take effect in late June, after it is submitted to a popular
referendum. President el Bashir has named Lam Akol, a former faction
leader who joined the South Sudan Coordination Council (SSCC) in late
1997, into his recently-overhauled cabinet. The GOS established the SSCC
following the April 1997 peace agreement between several southern
factions. The SSCC is led by Riek Machar, another faction leader who
joined the GOS last April. In mid-February, Sudanese First Vice President
Lieutenant El Zubeir Muhamad Salih was killed after a military plane
carrying him and other senior GOS officials crashed and sunk in the Sobat
River in Nasir. Among the 20 people killed was southern rebel ally Arok
Thon Arok. Lam Akol was on board but suffered only minor injuries.
On April 2, 55 army conscripts drowned in the Blue Nile River while trying
to escape from a military training camp near Khartoum. About 260 recruits
are missing and are feared dead. The GOS has denied that military guards
shot and killed some of the recruits. Military service is usually
compulsory for Sudanese men at age 18.
USG Increases Diplomatic Pressure on the GOS. On November 4, 1997, U.S.
President Bill Clinton signed an Executive Order which imposed
comprehensive trade and financial sanctions on Sudan. Transactions
necessary to conduct humanitarian, diplomatic, and journalistic
activities, as well as the business of the USG and the U.N., are, however,
exempted and will continue.
On December 10, U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright held talks in
Kampala, Uganda, with SPLA/M Chairman John Garang and three
representatives from the NDA, which combines southern- and northern-based
opposition forces. The meeting was part of a long-term policy to isolate
and increase pressure on the GOS.
On April 21, the U.N. Commission on Human Rights adopted a resolution
introduced by the USG. The resolution urges the GOS to improve its human
rights record and permit the new Special Rapporteur to have access to all
parts of the country. The resolution also commends the efforts of Gaspar
Biro, the former Special Rapporteur, to improve the status of human rights
in Sudan over the past six years. The USG is supporting IGAD peace
initiatives in Sudan.
GOS Relations with its Neighbors. The GOS continues to accuse Uganda of
supporting the SPLA and has demanded the immediate release of over 100 GOS
prisoners of war held in Uganda. In return, Uganda continues to demand
the release of 30 schoolgirls abducted by the Lord's Resistance Army
(LRA), a Ugandan opposition group that reportedly operates out of Sudan.
Relations between the GOS and the Ethiopian and Eritrean governments
remain poor. Meanwhile, relations between Sudan and Egypt show signs of
improvement.
Insecurity remains a problem along the Kenyan border. The road to
Lokichokio was closed for several weeks due to insecurity, but was
re-opened in February. Increased LRA attacks have limited travel on roads
near Uganda since September.
RELIEF EFFORTS
OLS Assisting IDPs in Bahr el Ghazal. U.N. and NGO agencies are
responding to rising humanitarian needs in Bahr el Ghazal/Lakes Region by
providing food- and non-food items such as seeds and tools. Save the
Children Fund (SCF)/UK is coordinating water interventions through staff
on the ground. With funding from BHR/OFDA, SCF/UK is supporting emergency
preparedness activities and providing seeds and tools in Bahr el Ghazal.
BHR/OFDA is also supporting the transport of UNICEF-provided seeds and
tools to Bahr el Ghazal.
The U.N. World Food Program (WFP) distributed a total of 915 MT of food to
250,000 people in Bahr el Ghazal from early February to mid-March. Of
this total, 385 MT was delivered by road, marking the first time that OLS
has managed to send food so far north by road from Uganda. An additional
500 MT will be delivered by road soon. However, air operations will still
be necessary to deliver food as only one-quarter of the population in
southern Bahr el Ghazal can be reached by road before the approaching
rainy season.
Additionally, WFP/Northern Sector is targeting 8,000 beneficiaries in
Gogrial town. A WFP barge convoy will soon begin delivering over 2,000 MT
of food to beneficiaries in GOS- and SPLA-held areas along the Nile River.
Two additional WFP barge convoys are planned for this year. WFP/Northern
Sector also plans to pre-position food in several locations in southern
Sudan and the transitional zone, including Wau and Kadugli, to ensure
timely delivery before the onset of the rainy season.
OLS is currently assisting several people injured and/or displaced by bush
fires in Tonj County, Bahr el Ghazal in late April. At least 47 people
were killed when small fires lit by farmers to clear land for planting
were spread by strong winds.
Humanitarian Activities Affected by Suspensions, New Regulations, and
Funding Shortages. On February 4, the GOS suspended air operations in
Bahr el Ghazal/Lakes Region on security grounds, stating that it would
consider specific requests for food airdrops in areas of acute human need
on a case by case basis. The ban was imposed a few days after WFP
announced the start of an emergency operation in Bahr el Ghazal. This was
the largest regional flight suspension since 1989, when OLS began.
On February 24, the GOS partially lifted the flight ban for four locations
in the northern Bahr el Ghazal/Lakes region following discussions with
Ambassador Robert van Schaik, U.N. Special Envoy for Humanitarian Affairs
in Sudan. Clearance was also given for Aweil and Wau. OLS subsequently
resumed airdrop operations in these areas with food stockpiled in
Lokichokio. In March, the GOS approved flights to two additional
SPLA-held areas, Rumbek and Akak, from the 21 locations requested by OLS,
bringing the total number of cleared locations in the region to eight.
However, access to these sites, all located south of the Jur River, was
insufficient to serve the humanitarian need in the region. In addition,
between February and March, WFP was authorized to use only one high
capacity C-130 and two Buffalo aircraft. In late February, the Dutch
government and the European Union (EU) delivered a joint demarche on Bahr
el Ghazal access to the Sudanese Ambassador to Vienna. The demarche
stated donor appreciation for the belated GOS decision to allow some
flights on February 24, but urged the GOS not to hinder or delay
deliveries of humanitarian assistance in the future.
On March 31, OLS received GOS clearance to fly in the month of April to
more than 50 locations in Bahr El Ghazal, and to 180 countrywide. Only
five SPLA-held locations (i.e. Yei, Mundri, Maridi, Panyagor, and Yomciir)
were denied. The GOS clearance for April, the best since June 1997,
arrived before the start of the operational month. In April, WFP provided
808 MT of food to beneficiaries in Bahr el Ghazal.
In late April, the GOS authorized OLS to use a second C-130 aircraft,
doubling WFP's air capacity. On May 3, the GOS approved three additional
C-130's and one additional Buffalo aircraft. UNICEF has an additional
Buffalo aircraft for non-food deliveries, which brings the total of
cleared aircraft to seven. OLS is considering having one C-130 depart
from El Obeid, northern Kordofan, for a limited amount of time. The GOS
is expected to ship 10,000 MT of food to affected areas in southern Sudan
from El Obeid and Kosti.
Effective September 26, the SPLA's relief arm, the Sudan Relief and
Rehabilitation Association (SRRA) suspended Action contre la Faim (ACF)
from SPLA-controlled areas, claiming that it was a security risk and had
exceeded its scope of responsibilities as an NGO. The suspension has
raised a series of complicated issues which are currently being addressed.
BHR/OFDA-funded humanitarian activities in northern Bahr el Ghazal have
ceased and will not be continued with another NGO. In response to the
suspension of ACF activities, EU and OLS representatives issued a joint
demarche expressing their dissatisfaction with the expulsion procedure.
In addition, the SRRA has presented NGOs working in the south with a
memorandum of understanding (MOU). Although they agreed with the MOU in
principle, NGOs have agreed not to sign the document and, with help from
UNICEF, have presented an alternative draft to SRRA. In consultation with
OLS and donors, NGOs also have drafted a letter in response to new GOS
rules regulating humanitarian health-specific activities in Khartoum.
NGOs are required to support supervisors appointed by the GOS and use GOS
treatment protocols and guidelines in health care and employment of
international staff. In the letter, NGOs stated that such procedures will
lead to reduced program effectiveness and are in conflict with contractual
obligations and previous agreements. OLS/Northern Sector is also urging
the GOS to lift taxes on fuel imports.
OLS is seeking donor support to respond to the emergency in Bahr el Ghazal
and to offset a serious shortfall in funds and food stocks. Overall, OLS
has received only 7% of the $109.3 million it requested in the 1998 U.N.
Consolidated Appeal issued in February. BHR/OFDA recently provided more
than $3 million in support of UNICEF/OLS Southern Sector. BHR/Office of
Food for Peace (FFP) has donated food valued at $9.2 million for
WFP/Southern Sector.
Various options for improving access and the operational environment in
Sudan will be discussed during the next International Advisory Committee
(IAC) meeting to be held in Geneva on May 18. Phillippe Borel, the
newly-appointed U.N. Coordinator for Emergency and Relief Operations
(UNCERO), based in Khartoum, will attend. Borel, former WFP director in
Cambodia, replaces Mr. Chistoph Jaeger who retired on February 27. The
role of the UNCERO was modified during a senior-level OLS meetings held in
Geneva in March. The UNCERO is now head of a unified OLS.
Representatives from OLS North/South met in Nairobi in late April to
discuss several topics, including a new coordination framework. BHR/OFDA
officials will attend the IAC meeting in Geneva.
In late 1997, senior BHR/OFDA officials urged GOS representatives in the
United States to ensure the flow of humanitarian supplies to civilians in
the besieged town of Juba. BHR/OFDA, along with several donors and NGOs,
is supporting an emergency preparedness/recovery plan developed by SRRA
for civilians in Juba.
The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) flight/assessment plan
has been approved by the GOS. ICRC activities will resume following SPLA
clearance of this plan. ICRC may assist over 400 GOS prisoners of war
released by the SPLA from Yei in late April. ICRC operations in Sudan
were suspended in November 1996 after an ICRC aircraft and four expatriate
staff were detained for 38 days by GOS-aligned forces.
Disease Control Efforts Continue. Despite increasing insecurity and
delays due to GOS-imposed flight restrictions, OLS launched the national
polio eradication campaign in mid-February in both GOS- and SPLA-held
areas, including Bahr el Ghazal. The campaign is expected to cover 35% of
children and will target some 750,000 children under the age of five.
BHR/OFDA is funding a joint CARE and International Medical Corps (IMC)
sleeping sickness treatment program in Tambura, Western Equatoria. A
prevalence survey done by CARE, IMC and the U.S. Centers for Disease
Control in June-July 1997 found the disease in 20% of the population,
compared to less than one percent 10 years ago. Sleeping sickness is
always fatal if not treated.
An outbreak of the tropical disease Kala-azar was reported in Zeraf State
in late February. An ongoing Medecins sans Frontieres (MSF)/Holland
program is supporting treatment centers in affected areas. Kala-azar,
often fatal if not treated, is transmitted to humans by sandflies and is
endemic throughout much of Sudan. A severe meningitis outbreak is
expected in south Sudan in the coming months.
Ongoing Humanitarian Activities near the Transitional Zone. WFP, UNICEF,
and several NGOs are working collaboratively to assist populations
affected by continued intra-factional fighting in Unity State. A
UN/NGO/GOS assessment conducted in mid-April found global malnutrition
rates of around 25% in Mayom and Bentiu and severe malnutrition rates of
approximately 7%. WFP estimates over 22,000 people in the state will need
food aid between April and August. With BHR/OFDA funding, CARE is
providing family assistance kits, including blankets, plastic sheeting,
and jerry cans in Unity State. CARE is also supporting supplementary and
therapeutic feeding centers, with assistance from MSF/France, and is
conducting a nutritional survey with the GOS and UNICEF.
Save the Children Federation (SC/US), in collaboration with UNICEF, is
working on a 1998 joint GOS/SPLA plan for emergency assistance in South
Kordofan. This assessment, the first in the area, will be conducted with
a joint team of OLS northern and southern sector international staff.
SC/US local staff are conducting immunizations and providing water in
GOS-held locations in South Kordofan with funding from BHR/OFDA.
BHR/OFDA is also funding a CARE food security, health/nutrition,
immunization, and goat-restocking project in En Nahud and Sidra. To offset
food shortages during the planting season, WFP, SC/US, SCF/UK, and other
NGOs will provide food for an estimated 129,000 people in South Darfur,
White Nile, and South and West Kordofan states. In October, SC/US
assisted 2,220 flood victims in Abbasiya with WFP-provided food.
A UN/NGO/GOS is verifying reports of population displacements following an
outbreak of tribal clashes in West Darfur. SCF/UK is distributing
WFP-provided sorghum to more than 200,000 beneficiaries in the area.
About 100 people were reportedly killed, cattle looted, and over 50
villages burned down during the clashes, which were brought on by scarce
grazing and water resources.
IDPs in Northern and Eastern Sudan Assisted. A WFP/Sudanese Red Crescent
(SRC) team has identified more than 19,000 people displaced by fighting in
Kassala near the Eritrean border. Oxfam is supplying clean water and the
SRC, with support from the ICRC, is distributing shelter materials and
assisting wounded people. FAO is monitoring the desert locust situation
particularly along the Red Sea Coast. Access to clean water remains a
problem for IDPs in Blue Nile State. WFP will provide food to over 43,000
beneficiaries in Red Sea, Gedaref and Khartoum states in the near future.
Despite GOS restrictions on humanitarian access and shortage of supplies,
relief agencies are providing shelter materials, water, and health
services to newly-relocated squatter families near Khartoum. Nearly
10,000 displaced families in Khartoum State have been affected by
demolitions, which are part of a GOS urban planning effort. An additional
5,000 families will be relocated soon, mostly to remote and uninhabitable
areas, while a small percentage will receive plots of land in Omdurman.
The UNHCU, based in Khartoum, is working with GOS officials to ensure that
affected families have viable relocation options. BHR/OFDA recently
provided $3 million to CARE for a two-year basic primary health care
program for approximately 350,000 IDPs in Khartoum.
Refugees. UNHCR, with assistance from WFP, continues to support Congolese
and Ugandan refugees in Juba. Despite the arrest and encampment of
Sudanese refugees and asylum seekers in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, UNHCR has
repatriated over 2,000 Sudanese refugees in Ethiopia and another 7,007 are
registered. UNHCR has begun repatriating Ethiopian and Eritrean refugees
in Sudan.
USG ASSISTANCE TO SUDAN
The USG has actively been providing humanitarian assistance to Sudan since
1988. On October 27, 1997, former U.S. Ambassador to Sudan Timothy Carney
renewed the disaster declaration for Sudan for FY 1998, stating that
continued U.S. assistance is required to assist over four million
war-affected and displaced Sudanese. Currently, the USG's humanitarian
response to the emergency in Sudan is provided through BHR/OFDA, BHR/FFP,
and the State Department's Bureau for Population, Refugee, and Migration
(PRM). USAID provided over $65.3 million in FY 1997, including a BHR/OFDA
contribution of $22.2 million in grants to support OLS and various relief
and rehabilitation interventions in affected areas. Additionally, in FY
1997, State/PRM contributed over $92 million to UNHCR, IFRC, ICRC, and the
International Rescue Committee (IRC) to assist refugees, including Somalis
and Sudanese, in the region.
BHR/OFDA and BHR/FFP staff in Washington continue to work with the
USAID/Regional Economic Development Services Offices/Sudan Field Office to
plan and monitor relief and rehabilitation activities in southern Sudan
and with USAID/Khartoum staff to monitor activities in northern Sudan and
GOS-controlled areas of the south. In January 1996, the United States
suspended its diplomatic presence in Khartoum, due to concerns for the
safety of American Embassy personnel in Sudan. Subsequently, Ambassador
Carney established a temporary office in Nairobi to maintain regular
diplomatic communications with the GOS.
