He assured that the government’s readiness to cooperate with the returnees to provide the needs for a decent life and preserve their dignity.

He reiterated that the local state authority will provide security and maintain the rule of law in West Darfur. He also expressed his sadness that because of the recent violence and displacement a number of children were deprived of their rights to education.

“The perpetrators of the recent violence will be held accountable and those who have been arrested will face justice,” he said.
