**Sudanese refugees in Egypt** Introduction : General Information There are approximately 2 million Sudanese migrants that live in Egypt, and tens of thousands of them are generally considered refugees although vast majority of them are not officially recognized as refugees. They have moved for two major reasons; one is to seek asylum from the military conflict and another is to have better economic opportunities. Sudan has been in one Civil War after another for decades between Christian inhabitants of South and West and the Arab Muslim government in North. The wars have created the refugees who would risk their lives in crossing the border. They also face racial discrimination and there are lots of cases in which Egyptian police has falsely accused them of crimes or maltreated them with violence. However, they would still want to leave Sudan despite all the risks. This is an investigation on the Sudanese refugees which will cover the following;
