Sudanese Refugee

Tim Cahill, the Socceroos all-time top scorer with 50 goals, came out of international retirement to play the final nine minutes.

About 60,000 people have fled South Sudan since violence escalated over the past three weeks, the United Nations refugee agency UNHCR said today.

The US military in Africa said today it has sent 40 additional soldiers to South Sudan's capital, Juba, to help secure American personnel and facilities in the war-torn city, while South Sudanese trying to flee the country by road reported attacks, killings and robberies by armed men.

A Sudanese man who walked through the Channel Tunnel last year in an extreme example of the desperate measures some refugees are prepared to take to reach Britain, was sentenced to nine months' jail on Wednesday but will walk free because of time he has already spent in detention.

A senior Sudanese official today called for more international support to check human trafficking and migration across Sudan's borders towards Europe, as EU and African leaders met in Malta to discuss the migration crisis.
