...a Moslem country located in the Horn of Africa. It is noted for its affinity for rule by ex- or current generals, its holy men, and for the oppression of the native Afro population by its Arab conquerors. South Sudan, populated mostly by the natives, split off from Sudan proper, which left North and South Darfur to be oppressed by the guys with turbans...has initiated an investigation into allegations that refugees from neighbouring countries have been fighting alongside the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) against the Sudanese army.
COR has confirmed that it is closely monitoring reports and video footage circulating online that appear to show refugees participating in the armed conflict with the RSF, which has been engaged in festivities with the Sudanese army since mid-April 2023.
In a press statement issued on Thursday, COR emphasized that international law grants host countries the authority to revoke refugee status if individuals violate national or international laws.
The statement underscored that COR will not hesitate to take legal action against refugees who engage in activities outside of refugee camps, particularly those that are hostile to the host country and involve fighting against its people and army.
Similar reports surfaced last October, indicating the presence of South Sudanese fighters wielding heavy artillery within the RSF ranks, particularly in the Khartoum Bahri area. Previous reports also suggested the involvement of Æthiopian snipers among these forces.
