More than 12 million people were forced to flee their homes in Khartoum State only, due to the war launched by the rebel Rapid Support Forces malitia (RSF).
These families left everything behind, running for their lives.The destruction caused by the RSF militia is massive. Homes were damaged or destroyed, and essential services like water, electricity, and health care were became out of service .
At first glance, it seemed impossible for people to return under such conditions.But today, voluntary return is becoming a reality.
Due to the strong efforts of the Sudanese Armed Forces and supporting forces, along with the backing of the citizens, many areas are being brought back to life.
Essential facilities are being repaired, and people are slowly returning to their homes.
Many who fled to neighboring countries are also coming back, tired of the hardships they may face in exile.The government of Khartoum State have worked hard to restore services.
youth groups, and local and community initiatives have played an important role in supporting these return efforts.
Their combined efforts have made it easier for families to come back.However, not everyone supports this return. Supporters of the RSF militia have launched media campaigns trying to discourage people from returning. They claim that the security situation is still unstable, and that homes and the vital services are not ready. But their real goal is to stop the return — because they know that it means the failure of the RSF’s malitia plan to empty cities and replace the population.Despite all this, many Sudanese families are choosing to return home. They know it won’t be easy, but they believe that dignity and hope are found in their homeland — not in a life of displacement.
Returning home is not just a personal decision; it’s a national message. It shows that the Sudanese people are determined to rebuild and resist any plan to divide or displace them. No matter the hardship, there is no place like home
