Kalma asks WFP not to link registration to voluntary return

Kalma camp leaders in South Darfur said they do not reject the World Food Programme’s (WFP) re-registration process but want assurances that the process will not be linked to voluntary return for displaced people back to their villages. ‘They must promise us they will not link the re-registration process needed to update their aid distribution lists as conditional on voluntary return’, said camp leader Ali Abdel Rahman. He added that the camp residents need security on the ground and a solution to the Darfur crisis before they can return to their villages. 180,000 at Zam Zam Zam Zam camp leaders said there are 180,000 displaced people, not the 34,000 suggested by the WFP yesterday. Camp sources said the WFP is making it up and 34,000 is not accurate at all.
