epa10628534 South Sudanese returnees who fled the ongoing conflict in Sudan, gather in the vicinity of the fluvial port of Renk as they wait to be transported south, in the Upper Nile State town of Renk, South Sudan, 14 May 2023. According to Mohajer Mhadi Khalifa, head of the boats union in charge of regulating the transport on the Nile in Renk, five boats are planned to transport the returnees to their areas of origin on the Nile towards the Southern Town of Malakal and other locations. On 14 May 2023 a group of 348 people embarked for the trip, following 577 others who made the same trip the previous day after days of waiting in the fluvial port of Renk. The transport was coordinated and organized by the IOM, Caritas and the RCC (the South Sudanese Relief and Rehabilitation Commission). According to the United Nations, some 200,000 people have fled the conflict in Sudan between 15 April and 12 May 2023. Most of them left towards neighboring countries such as Egypt, Tchad, South Sudan or Ethiopia, and about two million people were internally displaced. Leaving behind them the armed conflict between the Sudanese military and the RSF (Rapid Support Forces) militia, most of the refugees in South Sudan are South Sudanese returnees, part of the some 800,000 who had previously fled the war in South Sudan and who are now returning to a country which is barely out of conflict itself with tensions still remaining in many areas.

Zaraćene frakcije u Sudanu potpisale su kasno u subotu sedmodnevno primirje, rekli su u zajedničkoj izjavi Saudijska Arabija i SAD. Novim sporazumom dogovoren je sedmodnevni prekid vatre koji stupa na snagu u ponedjeljak u 21,45 sati po kartumskom vremenu, izvijestio je američki State Department.

Za razliku od ranijih dogovora kojih se zaraćene strane nisu pridržavale, sporazum postignut u saudijskom gradu Jeddahu provodit će se uz podršku SAD-a, Saudijske Arabije i međunarodnog mehanizma za praćenje prekida vatre.

Borbe između Sudanske vojske i paravojnih Snaga za brzu potporu (RSF) ušle su u šesti tjedan, gurnuvši zemlju u kaos zbog čega se raselilo više od milijun ljudi.

Zalihe hrane, novca i osnovnih potrepština brzo se smanjuju dok su se banke, veleposlanstva, tvornice hrane i skladišta humanitarne pomoći našli na udaru pljačkaša.
