TSC President meets IOM Director-General
President of the Transitional Sovereignty Council (TSC), Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Gen. Abdel-Fattah Al-Burhan, met on Tuesday with the Director-General of the International Organization for Migration (IOM), Ms. Amy E. Pope, in the presence of the Minister of Interior and the Undersecretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Ms. Pope said, in a press statement, that the numbers of Sudanese refugees due to the ongoing war in Sudan have been constantly increasing and have reached record levels, indicating that IOM provides a lot of assistance to refugees, but it is not enough, given the large numbers of Sudanese refugees who have lost their homes, jobs and lives.
IOM Director-General pointed out that the meetings she held with officials in the Ministries of Foreign Affairs and Interior were to tighten coordination regarding the provision of services to refugees and improve resources. She described the meeting with TSC President as fruitful and constructive. For his part, the Minister of Interior, Major General Police (Rtd) Khalil Pasha Sayreen, said that the visit of the IOM Director-General to Sudan came within the framework of standing on the field on the humanitarian conditions resulting from the war and assessing the situation on the ground, in addition to providing the required assistance to those who deserve it, especially since there are large numbers of Sudanese who have sought refuge in neighboring countries, in addition to the fact that Sudan also hosts huge numbers of refugees from neighboring countries, hoping that the visit of the IOM Director-General contributes to improving the humanitarian conditions facing Sudan due to internal displacement and asylum in neighboring countries.
