IOM呼吁延长南苏丹人回家期限

The International Organization for Migration says it is not able to meet an April deadline to repatriate South Sudanese refugees in the Sudanese capital, Khartoum.

国际移民组织说，它无法在4月期限前将苏丹首都喀土穆的南苏丹难民送回家。国际移民组织正在努力进行谈判将期限延长。

The International Organization for Migration is working to repatriate South Sudanese from the Sudanese capital Khartoum before an April 8 deadline for them to leave. But, IOM spokesman Jean-Philippe Chauzy tells VOA organizing the safe, dignified, voluntary return of hundreds of thousands of people by then is impossible.

国际移民组织正努力在4月8日期限前将苏丹首都喀土穆的南苏丹人送回家。但国际移民组织发言人乔兹对美国之音说，要在那之前将成千上万的人安全、有尊严并自愿地送回家是不可能的。

“It is a logistical nightmare," he said. "It is totally impossible to organize such large returns in such a short period of time. We are, therefore, advocating with other agencies for the 8th of April deadline to be extended to allow South Sudanese who want to leave to do so safely and in dignity. Or to open up some corridors between the North and the South, which would allow for spontaneous and organized returns within an extended deadline.”

乔兹说：“这是后勤噩梦。完全不可能在这么短时间内组织这么庞大的遣返工作。所以我们和其他机构都支持将4月8日期限延长，让想回家的南苏丹人能安全且有尊严地离开。我们也支持在苏丹和南苏丹间开一条通道，好让在延长的期限内进行自发性而有组织的遣返。”

The governments of Sudan and the newly independent Republic of South Sudan signed a Memorandum of Understanding on February 12. Under terms of the agreement, some one-half million Southern Sudanese still in Khartoum have until April 8 to choose between going home or remaining as refugees in the north.

苏丹政府和新近独立的南苏丹政府在2月12日签署了和解协议。在该协议之下，在苏丹首都喀土穆的大约50万南苏丹人在4月8日前仍可以选择回家或留在苏丹当难民。

All ethnic southerners lost their jobs in the north before South Sudan gained its independence in July. So, it is expected that most will opt to leave. However, IOM notes those who wish to remain in Sudan need documents from South Sudan to apply for residence in the north. And, it says this is a very difficult and lengthy procedure.

在南苏丹7月获得独立前，所有在苏丹的南苏丹人就失了业。所以估计大部分南苏丹人都会选择离开。 然而，国际移民组织注意到，那些想留在苏丹的人需要南苏丹发的文件来申请在北方居留。国际移民组织说，这是非常困难而漫长的程序。

The IOM already has helped move more than 23,000 people to South Sudan, mainly by barge. But, Sudan stopped the use of barges last month, stranding thousands of southerners who have been living in Kosti, a town by the Nile about 350 kilometers south of Khartoum.

国际移民组织已经协助2万3千多人回去南苏丹，大部分是靠接驳船。但苏丹上个月停止使用接驳船，导致上千名住在库斯提的南苏丹人被困在当地。库斯提是靠尼罗河的小镇，在喀土穆南方350公里。

IOM now is in the process of moving 1,400 refugees by train. This first group of South Sudanese returnees are traveling in a 60-carriage train. It is expected to arrive in Aweil and Wau in the Republic of South Sudan on March 10.

国际移民组织目前正用火车运送1千4百名难民。这些第一批回到南苏丹的人乘坐的是有60节车厢的火车。火车预计在3月10日抵达南苏丹的阿维尔和瓦乌。

Spokesman Chauzy says on the way, the train will pick up 500 South Sudanese from Kosti railway station, where they have been living outside for six months. He describes the rail journey as extremely challenging.

国际移民组织发言人乔兹说，火车半路上会在库斯提车站接走500名南苏丹人。这些南苏丹人已经在车站外住了6个月。他形容火车之旅的挑战性非常高。

“One of the challenges that we are facing is that the returnees are taking with them huge amounts of personal luggage," he said. "The reason for that is that some of them were born in Sudan, in the Republic of Sudan, and they are literally going back with, in some cases, building materials. They are going back with household items, personal effects.”

乔兹说：“其中一个挑战是，这些返家的人都带了非常大量的个人行李。原因是他们其中一些是出生在苏丹，一部分人还带着建筑材料回家。他们带着居家用品和个人物品回家。”

During March, Chauzy says IOM will airlift extremely vulnerable individuals to Wau, Aweil and Juba. These include elderly and disabled people, pregnant women and people with serious medical conditions, who are not fit to travel on the trains.

乔兹说，国际移民组织将在3月空运一些极度脆弱的人到瓦乌、阿维尔和朱巴。这些人不适合坐火车，包括了年长者、残疾人、怀孕妇女和健康状况不佳的人。

However, he says the train and air returns will hardly make a dent in the number of people who must return to the South by April 8. For that to happen, he says it is absolutely critical that Sudan extend the deadline.

但他说，以火车和飞机载人对一定要在4月8日前返回南苏丹的总人数来说根本是杯水车薪。他说，苏丹将期限延长是至关重要的。
