Former refugees resume village life in Darfur 
Former refugees resume village life in Darfur
In April 2009, a community of Sudanese refugees returned to their homes in the village of Seraf Jedad, West Darfur. With help from the African Union-United Nations Hybrid Operation in Darfur (UNAMID) and the government of Sudan, the former refugees rebuilt a school and reopened businesses, the local market and a clinic, albeit poorly equipped. In this 16 June 2010 photo, a mother holds her infant during a medical examination at the newly reopened clinic.
