The Sudanese government is increasingly bringing pressure to bear on internally displaced persons (IDPs) in the Darfur region to return to their homes, despite the fact that it has not fulfilled its commitment to improve security, according to UN agencies. Small-scale forcible relocation of IDPs had already started with the movement of about 4,000 people from al-Meshtel camp to Abu Shawk camp outside Al-Fashir, the capital of Northern Darfur State, just hours before UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan visited on 2 July. A second incident involved the movement of 7,000 people from Nyala, the capital of Southern Darfur, to Kalma camp, the UN reported.
