Um Dukhun — According to humanitarian organisations in Um Dukhun, Central Darfur, more than 5,000 people have returned to various locations around Um Dukhun town.
The returnees are mainly people who had fled Um Dukhun following the inter-tribal clashes between the Misseriya and the Salamat in 2013, according to the latest weekly bulletin of the UN Office for Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) in Sudan. The 5,000 returns are in addition to the 1,600 refugee returns from Chad, reported by the Sudanese Humanitarian Affairs Commission (HAC) on 25 December. According to HAC, people returned primarily due to the improvement in the security situation in Um Dukhun locality. The humanitarian organisations working in Darfur and HAC are planning to verify these figures, and will assess the needs of the returnees in the coming days.
