According to a representative at the
embassy of Sudan in Ottawa, persons leaving the country through
Port Sudan's airport must undergo a security check (14 Feb. 1995).
Such a check should include verification of outstanding warrants or
court procedures (ibid.). Persons who have not completed their
military service likely would not be allowed to leave the country
unless they can demonstrate a compelling reason for doing so; an
acceptable reason could include pursuit of studies abroad or a
visit to sick relatives (ibid.).
Please find attached several documents that
provide information on travel restrictions and controls in Sudan.
The attached section of Country Reports 1993 discusses
travel requirements, controls and restrictions for Sudanese
nationals. The attachment from Egypt & the Sudan: A Travel
Survival Kit provides information on air travel in Sudan;
although most of this information is relevant to foreigners
travelling to, from and within the country, some of it is also
pertinent to Sudanese travellers. The attachments include excerpts
from the April 1994 and February 1995 issues of the monthly
Travel Information Manual, which discusses travel
requirements in Sudan and Saudi Arabia.
The attached articles from The
Nation and The New York Times provide information on the
Islamic Security group, adding to that provided in Response to
Information Request SDN19744.E of 13 February 1995.
This response was prepared after
researching publicly accessible information currently available to
the DIRB within time constraints. This response is not, and does
not purport to be, conclusive as to the merit of any particular
claim to refugee status or asylum.
