526,998 Sudanese refugees reside in neighbouring countries (Chad, Uganda, Ethiopia, DRC, CAR, Egypt, Eritrea, Kenya); more than 56,000 refugees returned home in 2007 ("Country Report on Human Rights Practices 2007") [ID 23227]

"The UNHCR reported that 526,998 Sudanese refugees resided in neighboring countries, because of the conflicts in the south and Darfur.

Some 231,000 of these were in Chad, and another 162,000 were in Uganda; the remainder were in Ethiopia, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Central African Republic, Egypt, Eritrea, and Kenya.

Improved security in the south increased the return of displaced populations into areas of origin that were severely affected by the war and lacked basic services.

More than 56,000 refugees and tens of thousands of internally displaced persons from the north/south conflict returned to their areas of origin, particularly to the Nuba Mountains region and Central Equatoria."
