Safe from janjaweed: A camp with its own ‘Fifth Avenue’

THE refugee camp of D’jabal is a rough 20-minute ride away from Camp Ciara.

It is one of several refugee and displaced persons camps in the vicinity holding about 80,000 refugees from Darfur and 100,000 displaced Chadians.

It first opened three years ago as families of Sudanese flooded across the border, fleeing from janjaweed attacks on their villages. The UN and a dozen development and aid bodies run the camp, which is a highly organised.
