A shortage of teachers and books, as well as high tuition fees, head a list of complaints to the Ministry of Education of West Darfur by the displaced of the Sirba camps.<\/p>\n

A sheikh complained to Radio Dabanga of \u201cthe neglect of Sirba\u2019s schools\u201d. There is an acute shortage of teachers,\u201d he said, appealing to the Ministry of Education and \u201cthose concerned with educational affairs to reform the educational environment, provide school teachers and reduce tuition fees\u201d.<\/p>\n

The sheikh also voiced concern that \u201ca humanitarian disaster might occur in the camp due to a shortage of food, as well as signs of the failure of the agricultural season\u201d.<\/p>\n

He described the situation of the displaced as \u201ctragic, as humanitarian organisations have halted provision of food for more than a year\u201d.<\/p>\n

The sheikh also complained that nomadic herders bring their livestock to graze in agricultural areas, in spite of repeated protests to the locality\u2019s authorities.<\/p>\n
