 MILE REFUGEE CAMP, Chad (AP) - Thousands of Sudanese refugees crowded around U.S. Sen. Barack Obama Saturday as he visited their camp in eastern Chad and delivered a single message: Bring in the United Nations.
The refugees told Obama an international peacekeeping force is the only hope they have of returning to their normal lives in Sudan's western region of Darfur. Some carried banners held up on sticks demanding U.N. action.
A man who identified himself only as Musadigo said he and his family of seven have been living in the refugee camp, which is home to about 15,000 people, since fleeing his home three years ago. Chad now hosts more than 200,000 refugees from Darfur.
