With regard to Eva Dadrian's account of the massacre that happened to the Sudanese refugees in Cairo dated December 30th 2005, South Sudan Women Empowerment Network (SSWEN Inc. USA), an emerging indigenous organization, have prepared an official letter to world leaders, UN, UNHCR and Sudan government. We would like to include your report as an attachment to the letter.

Pambazuka News replies: We encourage all interested people and organisations to use the articles about the massacre of refugees in Cairo in their correspondence with the relevant authorities. Please inform Pambazuka News about any responses.

Eva Dadrian replies: The fate of the Sudanese refugees is not yet decided and many of those who were released from the military barracks where they were kept for 48 to 72 hours, are desperate. Soon, after the Eid, a decision will be made and therefore your letter to the UN, UNHCR and the Sudanese government could help bring a fair and just outcome to their plight. I suggest that you address your letter also to the AU, noting that back in November, the Sudanese refugees handed a letter to Kofi Annan when the UN SG was giving a lecture at the American University in Cairo (AUC).
