What country are you currently in, and what country are you originally from?

I am in Sudan. I am from Ethiopia.

Thank you. Are you currently in immediate danger where you are now?

Yes, I had to leave my village.

I understand, and I'm sorry you've had to go through this. I want to be sure I understand your situation fully. What is the primary reason you had to leave your home?

Phase 3 — Situation Assessment The agent's reasoning is shown, not hidden. The person can watch a thoughtful case being worked through.

Assessing your case…60%

Reviewing situation against 1951 Refugee Convention criteria… Checking AU Refugee Convention (1969) — broader protection scope for conflict displacement… Ethiopia → Sudan movement: crossing from an active conflict zone; UNHCR presence in Sudan confirmed… Persecution type: political + ethnic — strong, well-founded Convention grounds… Family unit of three, including minors — flagging child-protection and family-unity provisions… Assessing nearest safe countries with open asylum programs and active UNHCR registration… Provisional finding: credible claim under both Conventions. Preparing country options.

Phase 4 — Recommendations & Action Plan Clear options, ranked and explained — followed by a concrete, step-by-step roadmap for the country you choose.

Based on your situation, these are the safest and most achievable options near you. Each is matched to your profile — not a generic ranking.

Personal Statement

In support of an application for refugee status · Prepared with Fugee

My name is [full name]. I am a national of Ethiopia, born in [town]. I am currently in Gedaref, Sudan, traveling with my two children.

I left my home because of political and ethnic persecution. In November, armed men came to our village searching for people connected to the opposition. My husband was taken and we have not heard from him since…

I fear that if I return I will be detained or harmed because of my family's perceived political affiliation and my ethnicity.
