The International Organization for Migration, (IOM) Regional Director for the East and Horn of Africa, Mr. Mohammed Abdiker, has arrived in Juba, South Sudan on a six-day visit.
During his trip, Mr. Abdiker is scheduled to meet with government officials, international donors, and the United Nations Country Team, IOM said in a press statement today.
"Mr. Abdiker will also visit Wau in Western Bahr el Ghazal to assess IOM’s humanitarian response in Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) camps, including the Naivasha IDPs camp, and surrounding communities, as well as visit transition and recovery activities implemented by IOM for communities and returnees," the statement reads in part.
