The United Nations high commissioner for
refugee at Kassala has declared state of emergency due to the over
flooding number of Eritrean youth on 25th of March 2005.
According to the statement given by the
organization, the number that included women has reached 375 during the
past two days alone. The youth have managed to flee from Sawa and other
military camps. The Sudanese Kassala State is said to have granted them
asylum.
The Sudanese government has not yet
commented on the event, however, there has been concerns to the
military build up of Eritrean forces on its borders.
Although, the number is getting doubled
every time, the Eritrean youth has been deserting the army opposing the
consistent forced conscription. The recent round ups that include men
under 65 has aggravated the situation sources said.
Due to the rising tension with Ethiopia,
the government of Eritrea is amassing forces in the border, which
created loop holes to the deserters.
