"Darfur Struggle"
Student Winner
News/Feature Reporting:
A young Sudanese refugee from Darfur struggles to keep his footing during a dust storm in Abeche, Chad. Since 2003, more than 250,000 people have fled the ongoing conflict in Sudan to the desolate regions of eastern Chad. While they may have escaped the violence in Darfur, they find themselves competing with the local population for water and other essential resources necessary for their survival. Consistently ranked as one of the top ten poorest countries in the world, Chad faces its own challenges and has few resources to offer to the growing population of refugees.
