<p>Sudan is a source, destination and transit point for migrants. While migrants have
been accommodated by the Government of Sudan, their policy of encampment limits durable
solutions. Integration is very challenging and most African migrants do not have the
right to legally work in Sudan; third country resettlement is not viable as the UNHCR
programme is currently suspended. Return is not possible for Eritreans due to human
rights concerns. Protection is weak and many migrants are exploited.</p><p> </p><p>In
Libya, we remain deeply concerned over the appalling conditions for migrants in detention
centres, particularly given the current escalation in violence. We urge all sides
to ensure the safety of civilians, including vulnerable refugees/migrants; and continue
to pressure the Libyan authorities to pursue alternatives to detention and implement
a better functioning migration system that respects human rights. These efforts are
part of our wider approach to protecting those who are travelling on the dangerous
migration route into Libya.</p><p> </p><p>There is insufficient data on border crossings
between Sudan and Libya to be able to assess whether there has been any recent change
in the direction of migration between those countries. Instability in both Libya and
Sudan is likely to cause further displacement.</p>
