“We want Darfur to enjoy stability, peace and prosperity, instead of tribal conflicts and fighting that caused vast numbers of orphans,” he stressed.

The Solidarity Organisation also launched a “Million Subscriber” initiative, to support orphans across the country, by collecting a monthly donation of one Sudanese pound from each subscriber.

Humanitarian workers in South Darfur have warned for a growing number of orphans and homeless in the state, owing to the ongoing attacks and tribal conflicts.

There are about 4,000 homeless in the state, according to a South Darfur government official.
