Thirteen years. Thirteen years. Thirteen years was very difficult for me grasp today as we walked refugee camp Djabal. Thirteen years is the amount of time Darfuris have been living in refugee camps in eastern Chad. Over thirteen years the trees all over camp Djabal have grown very tall and full, yet everything else has remained the same, if not worse. The schools. The homes. The lack of opportunity. No realistic solutions for self-reliance. Thirteen years, the trees are thriving and the refugees are not.
