While the majority of people have been displaced internally, hundreds of thousands have fled to neighboring countries too. Meanwhile, the army chief has fired his former ally turned rival from the Sovereignty Council.

EDnews informs via DW that more than a million people have been displaced by the monthlong fighting in Sudan, the United Nations Refugee Agency said on Friday.

Some 843,000 people have been displaced internally, while another 250,000 have crossed into other neighboring countries, spokesperson Matthew Satlmarsh told reporters in Geneva.

Egypt has seen the highest number of Sudanese refugees arrive in the country with 110,000 people there, Saltmarsh added. Chad, South Sudan and Ethiopia are other countries with large numbers.

"Many of those who have approached us are in a distressed state having been exposed to violence or traumatic conditions in Sudan, and having suffered arduous journey," Saltmarsh said in the briefing.
