Sudan is at it again - an approximate 100,000 people have been displaced by fighting between the government and rebel factions, and those people are stranded without hope of assistance. Sudan has restricted movement of aid workers within the country, so that current supplies could maybe feed 20,000 people for about two weeks. The Sudanese Red Crescent society and the World Food Programme have been fighting to get into the area to no avail, the Sudanese military is declining to comment. So far the only steps the Sudanese government has taken have been to fire the governor of the area and declare the Blue Nile in a state of emergency.
