STORYLINE
UN High Commissioner for Refugees, Filippo Grandi met with South Sudan’s President, Salva Kiir and called for lasting peace and viable solutions to help rebuild the country after years of conflict.

Grandi has met with President Kiir as part of efforts to find lasting solutions. A fragile peace is slowly returning after years of the conflict. Since the signing of the revitalized peace agreement in 2018, close to 300,000 South Sudanese refugees have spontaneously returned to their country, while over 1 million IDPs have returned home.

In October 2020, the Governments of Sudan and South Sudan with the support of regional body, Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) and UNHCR launched the development of a solutions initiative for refugees, IDPs, returnees and host communities in Sudan and South Sudan. The solutions initiative is a unique opportunity to put the respective governments and displaced people at the center of planning for the future.

Many of the returnees are coming back to South Sudan to find their homes destroyed, weak social services and some areas remain insecure. UNHCR is not promoting returns as some areas remain insecure but for those who do choose to go back home, more support is needed to help them rebuild in safety and dignity.
