Refugees on the Move: Displaced South Sudanese in Ethiopia, Sudan, and Uganda

Formulated under the NORHED II framework, Refugees on the Move presents a timely, ground-level examination of forced migration across the Horn of Africa. Built on decades of academic partnership connecting researchers from universities in Addis Ababa, Bergen, Khartoum, Makerere, and Juba, this volume investigates the human realities and complex socio-political dynamics of South Sudanese populations fleeing conflict into neighboring Ethiopia, Sudan, and Uganda. Through first-hand anthropological fieldwork and applied social science, the contributors analyze how displacement intersects with local borderland tensions, regional instability, and host community dynamics. Combining rich case studies with comparative analysis, this book bridges rigorous academic research, policy dialogue, and institutional capacity building—offering an essential resource for scholars, policy-makers, and humanitarian practitioners working on regional development and forced migration governance in East Africa.
