Voluntary Repatriation of Sudanese Migrants from Morocco
On September 11, 2026, a significant voluntary repatriation operation facilitated the return of 137 Sudanese migrants from Morocco to their homeland. This initiative was organized in close collaboration with Moroccan authorities and the Sudanese Embassy in Morocco, marking a pivotal moment in the country’s migration policy aimed at assisting those wishing to return to their countries voluntarily.
The operation commenced at the Mohammed V International Airport in Casablanca, representing the first organized flight dedicated to Sudanese migrants who expressed their desire to return home. Mawada Omar Hageltoam El Badawi, the Sudanese Ambassador to Morocco, praised this initiative and extended her heartfelt gratitude to the Moroccan authorities for their commitment to ensuring a smooth return for Sudanese nationals.
Among those who benefitted from this operation was Youssef, a Sudanese migrant who shared his deep appreciation for the warm hospitality he received in Morocco. He expressed his thanks to His Majesty King Mohammed VI, as well as the Moroccan government and the Moroccan people, for their kindness and support throughout his stay. Youssef emphasized that this return to Sudan was not merely a journey home but also an opportunity for him to contribute to the reconstruction and development of his country.
This voluntary return initiative is a vital component of Morocco's migration strategy, which aims to provide structured support for migrants wishing to return to their countries under well-defined conditions. Such operations highlight Morocco's role in managing migration effectively while fostering goodwill and cooperation with neighboring countries.
