Thousands more Sudanese people fleeing the country’s bloody war continue to arrive in neighbouring and impoverished Chad, as the humanitarian situation deteriorates on the ground in the region.

More than 4.3 million Sudanese have fled to neighbouring countries since the start of the civil war in April 2023 between the government-aligned Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), according to the latest data confirmed by the United Nations.

It was believed that the Sudan Civil War was winding down. So, a lot of of those went home. Presumably more northern Sudan.

I gather that the refugees going to Chad are from Southern Sudan.
