Sudan: 2011 Humanitarian Snapshot (as of 15 Dec 2011)

Fighting in the Abyei region, South Kordofan and Blue Nile states following the secession of South Sudan has resulted in high numbers of displaced or severely affected people. In Darfur, while there have been several outbreaks of localized fighting since the beginning of 2011, an increasing number of returns of refugees and IDPs to more stable areas has been witnessed. Meanwhile, a large-scale movement of people of South Sudanese origin from Sudan to South Sudan continues.
