The March 2005 report of the Sudan Joint Assessment Mission (JAM) estimated that approximately four million people were displaced from (or within) Southern Sudan by the 20 years of fighting between the northern and southern regions of Sudan. Following the signing of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) in January 2005, IOM calculates that both North-South and South-South return movements stand at almost 1.7 million.

The return of many civilians has been closely monitored through the IOM, UN and governmental assisted return programmes. Some civilians, however, have elected to return by themselves which continues to pose enormous challenges to the international community and authorities that try to locate them, and to provide support.

Details to this effect are researched and discussed here.
