 Sudanese Prime Minister Abdallah Hamdok pledged to address the situation of internally displaced people (IDPs) and refugees in Darfur, to achieve transitional justice and remove the consequences of armed conflict in the region.

 Hamdok promised to voluntarily repatriate displaced people and refugees, adding that his government "will not rest until it achieves this task". He also promised to hold accountable the perpetrators of human rights violations.

 Hamdok visited the camps of displaced persons outside El-Fasher including Zamzam, Alsalam and Abu Shouk to inspect the IDPs conditions and listen to their demands.

 The IDPs called for security outside their camps and in agricultural areas, the return of international humanitarian organizations, the payment of collective and individual compensations, the provision of basic services for the camps and the establishment of training and rehabilitation centres for displaced persons.
