Talks on relocation of Palestinians to South Sudan

Global Scenes Reports·By D.O. Abiodun

It is claimed that Israeli government are in talks with South Sudan government to relocate Palestinians in mass to South Sudan. Meanwhile, the South Sudan government has openly rejected the claim. And an overwhelming majority of the African public strongly opposes the plan.

Reports of possible discussions prompted immediate concern among Palestinian representatives, South Sudanese voices and regional observers. South Sudan's government has publicly rejected claims that it agreed to receive Palestinians as part of any mass relocation arrangement.

Any proposal affecting civilian movement must be assessed against international law and the principle that displacement cannot be imposed on a population. Humanitarian and rights organisations have repeatedly stressed that civilians must be protected and their choices respected.

The issue has resonated well beyond the governments named in the reports, especially across Africa and the Middle East. Global Scenes Reports will continue to follow official clarifications and verified developments.
