, 08/03/2011 - Large number of returnees arrived to Southern Sudan in the last two months. This large influx resulted in high demand for food and pose threats to food security through stressing the already strained commodity prices. Reports from UN OCHA 10/02/2011, indicated that a total of two hundred thirteen thousand, eight hundred thirty two (213,832) returnees arrived since Oct. 2010. Increase of the number of returnees in the coming few months is expected to affect the food security situation in Southern Sudan. Close monitoring of the situation and developing contingency plan by GoSS and humanitarian and development partners is highly required. The Government and other development partners need to work urgently to speed up early reintegration of returnees as they reached their final destination to enable them participate in agricultural activities which will be starting in the coming few months in most parts of Southern Sudan.
