Authorities in Khartoum – act4SouthSudanese has learned – are set to begin demolishing refugee and IDP camps in the Haj Yousif area — displacing hundreds of South Sudanese families who had sought safety after fleeing the violence of Sudan’s war.
For many, this is not the first time South Sudanese in Sudan have been forced to go nowhere, and the future remains painfully uncertain.
The destruction of shelters is not an isolated incident. South Sudanese communities across Sudan have long faced targeted discrimination, forced removals, violence and at times mass murder. In Al Gazera State, the tragedy in Kanabi stands as a grim reminder where families were not only uprooted, but massacred in barbaric and inhumane ways.
In other cases, South Sudanese in Sudan have been rounded up and deported in public displays, as local authorities and community leaders made it clear that “these people” were not welcome.
Those who fled to Port Sudan or Atbara found little relief, often met with rejection and left to survive on their own without shelter or basic support.
This cycle of displacement and mistreatment must end.
We cannot turn away as more families are left without protection or a place to call home.
