Refugees – 2023
2023
Reports suggest conflict, ethnic conflict, and natural disasters have exacerbated refugee issues in South Sudan. While the UNHCR reported an estimated 763,000 South Sudanese refugees returning to the country, over 2.2 million South Sudanese refugees, of which 65% are children, are in precarious conditions in neighboring countries.[1]
The RTGoNU has yet to address related issues of reconstruction, repatriation, resettlement, rehabilitation and reintegration.[2]
