Kango Haraza

Kango Haraza is a village in the West Darfur region of Sudan, situated near the Chad–Sudan border,[1][2] about 100 kilometers southwest of the city of Geneina.

Since the 1950s, Kango Haraza has been one of the gathering points for cattle grazers from northern and southern Darfur and Chad, particularly from January to July.[3]

In March 2009, a Sudanese aid worker was shot and killed in Kango Haraza.[4] As of September 2019, it hosted an internally displaced persons camp, according to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.[5] Following the breakout of the war in Sudan in April 2023, thousands of people fled Kango Haraza and crossed into Chad.[6]
