June 5, 2013 (KHARTOUM) - Some 19,000 Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) have returned to their areas of origin in South Kordofan, two months after being forced to flee their town and villages when the Sudanese rebels captured it last April.

Citing the government controlled South Kordofan Voluntary Return and Resettlement Commission (VRRC), the UN humanitarian office OCHA said that 5,460 people returned to Abu Kershola and 3,116 to Um Berimbita in South Kordofan; 2,470 to Sidrah and 7,672 to villages near El Rahad and El Obeid in North Kordofan.
