returnees were based, after they were brought from exile due to civil war strife in Sudan. The war
in Sudan had been fought for 21 years between the citizens of Sudan itself because of vast
marginalization of communities in the country.However, in 2005, the peace was signed between
the SPLM/A and the Khartoum regime (NCP) which paved the way for peace and security in the
country.As a result, many displaced persons were repatriated back to Sudan for resettlement.
