The problem of internally displaced persons is not unique to Sudan. There are large numbers of internally displaced persons in at least thirty countries around the world. Sometimes they are joined by refugees who have fled from their own country-as in Sudan where there are Ethiopian, Eritrean, Ugandan and other refugees.
