South Sudanese refugees met with the parties involved in a newly initialed peace deal in the Sudanese capital, Khartoum, aiming to ensure that refugees play a role in the revitalized peace effort to end South Sudan’s devastating civil war
UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR), Sudanese government, East African regional body, IGAG organized the meeting together. It was organised to follow up on the August 30th conclusion of “revitalized peace agreement negotiations.”
About 16 South Sudanese refugees flew in Khartoum from the Central African Republic (CAR), the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda and Sudan, to share their views, aspirations and expectations and to urge parties to the agreement to find peace for the millions of South Sudanese, like themselves, whose lives have been uprooted by the conflict.

Concerns about what the agreement will mean for the rule of law, security, land rights, the economy, education and health care are raised.

UNHCR and its partners need more than billion dollars to urgently meet the needs of those displaced until they able to return home to a peaceful South Sudan.
