Up to 15,000 South Sudanese 'may be left stranded in the north'

The International Organisation for Migration has said it cannot meet the deadline set by Sudan’s White Nile State to help relocate up to 15,000 South Sudanese.

IOM spokesman Jean-Philippe Chauzy said his organisation is “deeply concerned” because 12,000 to 15,000 South Sudanese lack the means to get home from the Sudanese town of Kosti, south of Khartoum.
