Two voluntary repatriation flights brought 202 Sudanese refugees back from Uganda to Sudan this week, with arrivals in both Khartoum and Port Sudan. The most recent flight, the 23rd of its kind, landed at Khartoum International Airport on Sunday morning, carrying 142 returnees aboard a Badr Airlines aircraft.
The remaining 60 refugees were transported on a second flight that also departed Uganda earlier in the week. Together, the two flights completed a coordinated effort to bring Sudanese nationals home after years of displacement.
Officials from the Sudanese government and Ugandan authorities confirmed the successful arrivals and noted that the repatriation was carried out on a voluntary basis, with the returnees having chosen to return to their homeland.
While the flights marked a significant step in the broader resettlement and repatriation initiatives across the region, details on the long‑term support plans for the returnees were not disclosed in the brief announcement.
