The Refugee Commission has announced a phased plan to relocate South Sudanese citizens from Khartoum State to White Nile State.
Officials say the initiative is designed to keep families together, transferring them as unified units while ensuring legal and social protections throughout the process.
The relocation will be carried out in structured stages aimed at securing identity records and tracking individuals from departure to arrival.
In the first phase, newborns and infants aged between one day and one year will be registered using available birth, baptism, or vaccination documents.
The second phase focuses on children and adolescents aged one to seventeen, prioritising family reunification to maintain household unity during relocation.
A specialised unit has also been set up to handle cases where documentation is missing, assessing evidence and providing legal alternatives before individuals are added to official lists.
Assistant Commissioner Reem Babiker Dagana said the procedures are being strictly applied to protect children’s rights through verified documentation.
Registration head Abdul Wakil Muhammad Babiker added that families are required to present all available documents to establish legal identity and safeguard entitlements.
He said the approach combines strict oversight with flexibility, aiming to prevent family separation and ensure safe, coordinated relocation outcomes.
