AFSD45 Appeal 150 route de Ferney, P.O. Box 2100 1211 Geneva 2, Switzerland Tel: 41 22 791 6033 Fax: 41 22 791 6506 e-mail: [email protected] Appeal Coordinating Office Sudan – Upper Nile & Eastern Equatoria Repatriation, Relief & Rehabilitation - AFSD45 Appeal Target: US$12,484,385 Geneva, 8 September 2004 Dear Colleagues, The signing of the six protocols in May 2004 has brought a lot of hope and optimism to hundreds of thousands of Southern Sudanese who have been living in exile in neighbouring countries or displaced in camps around the country and especially in the north. The UN sources also confirm that, some 100,000 internally displaced persons (IDPs) have returned from the north to the south Sudan so far in 2004. Although the return has been considerably slowed down by the onset of the rainy season and the security concerns, a more substantial wave of spontaneous return is anticipated towards to end of the rainy season. The realities in the south are very different as there is lack of basic social services such as health and educational facilities, communication infrastructure such as roads, bridges, water and rail transport. There is also very little availability of food and potable water for the returnees. ACT members Church Ecumenical Action in Sudan (CEAS), Lutheran World Federation Uganda and Kenya/Sudan programs (LWF) and Norwegian Church Aid (NCA) carried out extensive needs assessments in May 2004 in the Bor area, Upper Nile and Eastern Equatoria regions, which led to this appeal. The majority of the refugees in Kakuma refugee camp in Kenya originate from the Bor area while the refugees in Uganda are mostly from Eastern Equatoria. More assessments are being planned and others are being conducted for areas not covered in this appeal. In preparation for the massive return of people once the peace is finally concluded, ACT members and partners working in South Sudan have prepared this appeal to address some of the challenges for settling the returning population. Areas being addressed in the appeal include, but are not limited to, food production and security, infrastructure development in health and education, provision of social services, development of socio-economic activities and effective institutional structures. However, the ACT members also recognise ACT is a global alliance of churches and related agencies working to save lives and support communities in emergencies world-wide. The ACT Co-ordinating Office is based with the World Council of Churches (WCC) and The Lutheran World Federation (LWF) in Switzerland. Sudan – Bor, Upper Nile & Eastern Equatoria Regions 2 AFSD 45 Appeal that there is limited internal capacity in Sudan at present to adequately meet those needs. This appeal aims at extending the emergency services of ACT implementing members in South Sudan to provide support for the repatriation and resettlement of returnees. We appeal for your support and assistance in alleviating the vast human suffering in Sudan.

Our grievances are on the following discontentment: Firstly, your purely autocratic Government of Urbania, Has solely dishonoured and condemned the document That we all signed – and codenamed – “Bible of Peace”. You’ve violated its gospel, the cause of our fatal disagreement; Wealth: You’re feeding our autonomous nation with ration apiece. In your annual tour, compare our city – Metropollutant – of Ruralia With its posh sister city of Urbania, proudly dubbed Metropolitania. All our resources, on our watching, are consumed up in Urbania. Our intellectuals and workforce are abundant but redundant. Henceforth, right here, we demarcate to be independent! You are busy strategizing to turn Ruralia into Somalia: Yourselves landlords, creating warlords, tribal militia, And bribing our politicians to speak out your voice, And turning our villages into large ghettos of slum, And our own towns into large cities of Islam. With these experiences, we’ve no choice, But t’ ask, demand, fight... for our voice.
