L’objectif général de la mission était d’évaluer la situation des différents groupes (réfugiés, retournées et la population hôtes), leurs besoins (alimentaires et non alimentaires) et de formuler des suggestions et des recommandations relatives au type d’assistance immédiate (option des réponses et stratégies mise en oeuvre) à apporter à ces populations en particulier. Cette évaluation a permis ainsi de disposer d’informations précises sous les groupes les plus vulnérables, leurs besoins alimentaire et non alimentaire et la période et la durée de l’assistance.

Suite au lancement en mars 2013 des plates-formes Open Data dans 30 pays africains, la Banque africaine de développement (BAD) vient de lancer des plates-formes additionnelles Open Data pour les 10 pays africains suivants : Burkina Faso, Burundi, République centrafricaine, Tchad, Gabon, Mali, Madagascar, Niger, Somalie, Soudan. Cela porte à quarante (40) le nombre de pays africains déjà connectés au réseau Open Data.

The sheikh of a camp near Nyala, South Darfur, has told Radio Dabanga the deteriorating heath and sanitary conditions at the site have resulted in the death of four children, and caused four women to miscarry this week. In addition, five children have died of diarrhoea at a camp in the vicinity.

Sheikh Abdul Karim Abakar of Attash camp says that as relief organisations have not yet provided support for the newly displaced to build houses, the four women concerned have only their own clothing to shelter themselves and their children from the sun.

EL SALAM CAMP (21 May.) - The poor humanitarian conditions for displaced people at El Salam camp in South Darfur are deteriorating as thousands continue to arrive at the site. To aggravate the situation, a sheikh said that this week alone, eight people died of disease while two were killed by militiamen.

The Signal Program on Human Security and Technology at the Harvard Humanitarian Initiative has released its first study, Sudan: Anatomy of a Conflict.

This study is the first geospatial-based history of a conflict created primarily through a fusion of remote sensing and previously public event data. The researchers of the Signal Program spent many months cross-referencing and analyzing over 40,000 square kilometers of archival satellite imagery of Sudan with more than 2,000 published reports of incidents occurring between January 2011 and mid-2012.

I. Introduction

Conditions in many of Darfur's nearly 100 displacement camps have deteriorated as the number of organizations with expertise in delivering basic services has decreased.
