A new party formed in Sudan; 90,000 Eritrean refugees

The Sudanese minister of transport Laam Akol and both Ameen Benani and Mekki Balayel have formed a new party in Sudan which is named "the Justice Party" and started to attract to members from the National Council in order to formulate an opposition parliamentary committee.

In a statement, the new party stressed that it has a national attitude and seeks to attract all the Sudanese and is aligned to the social strata and regions in order to achieve justice for all.

Worthy mentioning that Akol, Balayel and Benani split from the Sudanese National Congress Party three months ago.

In another development, the Province of Kasla to the east of Sudan has called on the UN and other organizations to lay the necessary arrangements for the return back of Eritrean refugees to their country after the end of their legal stay in Sudan and end of their asylum in Sudan by the end of September.

The governor of Kasla Lt. Gen. Adam Hamid Mousa said on Thursday in a statement to the Sudanese daily al-Rai al-Am that more than 90,000 Eritrean refugees are in Kasla and that the province is working with the government to return back those refugees voluntarily to their country.

Adam called on the international community to understand the situation of the refugees and to help in solving this problem because his province can not provide aid to them as the donating organizations stopped providing aid as from the end of September.
