Chad faces growing Sudan refugee burden
As Sudan's war enters its fourth year, Chad struggles to support a growing influx of refugees. And the use of AI and robotics to make education more accessible for deaf learners.
The UN refugee agency, UNHCR says Chad is now hosting around 1.5 million refugees and asylum-seekers from Sudan. And despite the war entering its fourth year, the flow of people has not stopped. More than 50,000 of them have arrived in Eastern Chad this year alone. We speak with Mamadou Dian Baldé, UNHCR's Regional Director for Eastern and Southern Africa who recently visited some of the refugee camps in the region.
And, September 23 is the International Day of Sign Languages. We look at the role of AI in advancing access to information and education for deaf communities.
