SUDAN: UN STRENGTHENS SUPPORT TO COMBATING HUMAN TRAFFICKING,
SMUGGLINGNew York, Dec 17 2013 3:00PMThe United Nations refugee
agency is working with the Government of Sudan and partners to reduce
the number of kidnappings and incidents of trafficking and smuggling
in, through and out of the country.

"Those most vulnerable are the newly arrived asylum-seekers, mainly of
Eritrean origin, who cross the border into Eastern Sudan," according
to a <"http://www.unhcr.org/52b0184e6.html">joint news release by the
UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and the International
Organization for Migration (IOM).

The strategy, which strengthens the capacity of the Government, also
provides care and psychosocial support for victims, and builds
awareness of risks among the families in camps and urban areas.

The programme, supported by donors from Germany, the Netherlands,
Switzerland and the United States, has already been involved in
workshops for participants from the national refugee commission, as
well as police, security, the judiciary, and civil society focusing on
refugee law and protection needs.

In addition to additional police stations and increased police
presence in refugee camps, a border assessment has been conducted.

A sharp drop in reported incidents – 89 cases though November of this
year versus 324 reported cases during that same time period last year
– has been credited to increased commitment by the Sudanese
authorities to combat trafficking and prosecute perpetrators.

The incidents include reports in January 2013 that four refugee women
were kidnapped from the Shagarab camps during the night and early
morning. Refugees in the camp, which hosts 29,445 people, had also
reported the kidnapping of a refugee man the previous week.

In anger at these incidents, some refugees attacked members of one of
the local tribes who they thought were responsible, and the ensuing
violence left several injured among the host population and the
refugees.

At the time, UNHCR spokesperson Melissa Fleming said that the main
actors responsible for smuggling and human trafficking from eastern
Sudan into Egypt were local tribesmen in eastern Sudan and in the
Sinai, as well as some criminal gangs.Dec 17 2013 3:00PM
