Plain textEXCLUSIVE PHOTOS: 4000 South Sudanese Jet In From Khartoum
Latest reports indicate that repatriation of South Sudanese from Khartoum is going on well.
With four fights daily which are transporting an average of 600 passengers (Returnees), up to Saturday; nearly 4000 returnees mostly women and children have arrived Juba. The exercise kicked off last week.
South Sudan officials say the refugees are slowly re-uniting with their families in South Sudan after years of suffering in Sudan. Local authorities have been asked to provide land and all necessary support to ensure the refugees start a new and decent life.

The challenges are many, though the transportation is smoothly going on, it may take more than a month to complete the transport of those South Sudanese stranded in Kosti.
Mundukurat in Sudan are not making transportation process of our people easy, many obstacles are placed on the process; from the ground transportation from Kosti to airlifting from Khartoum. It requires patients.
On arrival at the airport in Juba, the returnees are received by a team from IOM and Red Cross; and transferred to transit or temporary shelters.
We South Sudanese have to thank the National Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Disaster Management, Republic of South Sudan, Mr. Joseph Lual Achuil and Ms. Javana Luka Kpakasoro, Deputy Chairperson of South Sudan Relief and Rehabilitation Commission and on top of them our President, Gen. Salva Kiir Mayardit for making every possible efforts to see our people who are willing to come home be brought to their lovely Homeland The Republic of South Sudan.
