Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence

World Vision Ireland: Discussion

10:00 am

Ms Sheila Garry:

A question was asked about the external movement of people and where people were moving to apart from Uganda. While there has been huge movement to Uganda, over the years many South Sudanese people have moved to Kenyan refugee camps. Recently there has been movement of people in the northern area of South Sudan to Sudan, including to areas such as the east Darfur area, which is in the very north of the country. If a person is near a border, it becomes a good option to move across it, and when he or she gets across it, that person might find people from his or her own community living there, providing a kind of security.
