Refugees Trapped Amid Fighting in Sudan Say 'Please Be Our Voice': Sudan
In interviews with VOA, many said they fear for their lives and are in need of help, but nobody seemed to be listening to their pleas.
Eyasu Adola, a coordinator of the Oromo community in Sudan, said members of the Eritrean and Ethiopian refugee communities have been wounded and killed in the conflict. Another refugee from the Oromo community, who spoke to VOA's Afan Oromo service on condition of anonymity, said he saw some civilians caught in the crossfire."A woman from our country was hit by a bullet in her leg when she tried to get back home from her workplace. Even her family was not able to visit her at all."
