Crisis in South Sudan Deepens

Crisis in South Sudan Deepens

Taken on 2013-12-26

South Sudan's second week of conflict has left over 120,000 displaced from their homes. Humanitarian organisations in the country say that these numbers could be much higher given the limited access to the most vulnerable people across the country due to a deteriorating security situation. The European Commission's Humanitarian Aid and Civil Protection department (ECHO) has a team based in Juba who are working closely with the humanitarian organisations.

The Gillard Government made a commitment in 2010 to release all children from immigration detention by June 2011, but still 350 children languish in the harsh environment of immigration camps around Australia. The Refugee Action Collective organised a protest on July 9, 2011 outside the Melbourne Immigration Transit accommodation which is used for the detention of unaccompanied minors. “Bowen said he would have all children out of detention by June but there are still over 350 kids locked up including just under 100 in Broadmeadows,” said Refugee Action Collective spokesperson Benjamin Solah in a July 8 media release. “It’s now July and there are still children locked up, being driven to attempt suicide and self harm whilst the government congratulates themselves on meeting a promise they didn’t actually meet.”

Over 300 people rallied in support of asylum seekers and refugees outside the Broadmeadows Melbourne Immigration Transit Accommodation (MITA) Centre on Sunday 28th April 2013.

The detention centre houses more than 30 refugees who have had adverse ASIO assessments - 55 refugees all told held around Australia are in immigration limbo due to ASIO. As refugees they cannot be returned to their country of origin, yet the secret ASIO assessment means they cannot be released from mandatory detention. They are in indefinite immigration detention limbo.
