The Ministry of Interior explained that the step comes in response to a request from the Sudanese government and the desire of the displaced people to return to their country, within a humanitarian framework aimed at organizing and facilitating return operations.
A specialized committee was formed to oversee the implementation of the operations, ensuring compliance with the approved legal framework and organizing the procedures related to the return of displaced persons in a coordinated and safe manner.
These moves come in the context of ongoing humanitarian cooperation between Libya and Sudan, aimed at addressing the situation of displaced persons and alleviating the humanitarian burdens resulting from the situation in the region.
