Al-Burhan meets IOM Director

Head of the Transitional Sovereignty Council, Commander-in-Chief of the Sudanese Armed Forces, 1st. Lieutenant General Abdul Fattah Al-Burhan, met yesterday with the Director of the International Organization for Migration (IOM), in the presence of the Minister of Interior and the Undersecretary of Foreign Ministry.

The Director of the Organization said in a press statement that the numbers of Sudanese refugees due to the ongoing war in Sudan have been steadily increasing and have reached record levels, indicating that the organization provides a lot of assistance to refugees, but it is not sufficient given the large numbers of Sudanese refugees who have lost their homes, jobs and lives.

She referred to the meetings she held with officials in the Ministries of Foreign Affairs and Interior in order to tighten coordination in providing services to refugees and improving resources.
The Director of the IOM described the meeting with the Head of the Sovereignty Council as fruitful and constructive.

For his part, the Minister of Interior, Major General Police (Rtd.), Khalil Pasha Sayreen, said that the visit of the Director of the Organization to Sudan comes within the framework of standing on the field on the humanitarian conditions resulting from the war and assessing the situation on the ground, in addition to providing the required assistance to those who deserve it, especially since there are large numbers of Sudanese who have sought refuge in neighboring countries, in addition to the fact that Sudan also hosts huge numbers of refugees from neighboring countries, expressing his hope that the visit will contribute to improving the humanitarian conditions facing Sudan due to internal displacement and asylum in neighboring countries.
