The Sudanese Consulate in Benghazi has announced a new “voluntary return” programme for thousands of Sudanese citizens who fled the war and are currently living in various Libyan cities, including Kufra in the southeast.

In a brief statement on Sunday, the consulate said the initiative follows the “steady improvement in security conditions in Sudan and the growing desire of citizens to return home.” It added that a registration process has now been launched to identify those wishing to take part before repatriation begins.

The consulate called on Sudanese nationals across Libya to fill out an online form via a dedicated link. Registration centres are open to citizens in several cities and towns including Marj, Bayda, Shahat, Quba, Derna, Tobruk, Brega, Ajdabiya, the Oasis region, Kufra, Sebha and Jufra.

Officials warned citizens against registering in more than one location, stressing that duplication would disqualify applicants from the return process.

According to the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR), around 313,000 Sudanese have entered Libya since April 2023, with numbers expected to climb to 650,000 by the end of 2025. The agency estimates that between 300 and 600 Sudanese cross into Libya each day, fleeing violence and instability at home.

Local authorities in eastern Libya say they are working to provide assistance to Sudanese refugees, but reports from Sudanese and Libyan organisations highlight worsening humanitarian conditions. Many face a lack of job opportunities, rising prices, and limited access to basic services.

The consulate’s initiative seeks to ease pressure on Libyan host communities while responding to the needs of displaced Sudanese nationals who want to return to their homeland.
