Khartoum - About 60,000 Eritreans have fled to Sudan from ongoing fighting with Ethiopia, while Khartoum authorities have refused the right of asylum to 300 Eritrean families, according to a press report. The Al Rai al Aam daily, reporting from the north-eastern town of Kassala, quoted the Kassala state governor as saying he could not cope with the influx of the displaced Eritreans.
Mr Ibrahim Mahmoud Hamid also warned of epidemics after an outbreak of malaria among the displaced.
