The long road home
Opportunities and obstacles to the reintegration of IDPs and refugees
returning to Southern Sudan and the Three Areas
Profound changes are taking place in Southern Sudan as a result
of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA), which brought to an
end the 21 years civil war between the Government of Sudan and
the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement/Army. This agreement has
made possible substantial improvements in freedom of movement,
trade and oil revenue, dramatically reduced conflict and laid
the foundations of a system of governance to administer the
south’s own affairs. Demographics and social relations are
radically changing from wartime patterns. But peace has also
given rise to uncertainties about the future. Though progress
has been remarkable in some areas, the challenges of managing
the transition of rebuilding Southern Sudan and the border areas
remain considerable.
This latest Humanitarian Policy Group study argues the next few
years will be crucial to the future stability and prosperity of
the region. As considerable numbers of people return, the
pressure of reintegration mounts. Strategies must therefore
urgently be put in place to address massive and rapid
urbanisation, encourage civilians to disarm and provide
opportunities for the sustainable use of natural resources,
including land in urban areas. Infrastructure and markets also
need development and equitable access to essential services must
be put in place. The study, commissioned by the governments of
Canada and Denmark, is the second phase of a research project
looking at one of the world's largest return and reintegration
processes.
