Constant movement characterizes the Joda border crossing where refugees flee Sudan's violence. Over 12.5 million have been displaced since April 2023, with 5,000 crossing into South Sudan daily in December. The conflict between the Sudanese Armed Forces and Rapid Support Forces has forced many to seek refuge. The International Organization for Migration distinguishes between refugees and returnees, highlighting the complexity of a humanitarian crisis affecting both countries as South Sudan welcomes those escaping turmoil in Sudan.
"Today, I feel like I am in a safe place," says Hamed Attaher, a 26-year-old technology student from the University of Khartoum, who finally reached South Sudan.
During the first weeks of December, at least 5,000 people crossed into South Sudan each day, fleeing bombing and fighting between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces.
