JAKARTA - The Indonesian Migrant Workers Protection Agency (BP2MI) ensures that Indonesian Migrant Workers (PMI) who are in Sudan are illegal. Because the area is a conflicting country. If Sudan must be illegal. Sudan is not a destination country. Sudan is a conflict country. Indonesia has never tied a placement agreement to a conflicting country," said Head of BP2MI Benny Ramdhani in South Jakarta, Friday, April 28. However, BP2MI continues to serve the Indonesian Migrant Workers who are in Sudan. Because according to him, the safety of Indonesian citizens is the highest law of all things. Yes, the responsibility of the state including representatives will pay for repatriation. That's the state's cost. Arriving in the country we return to our hometowns with respect to the state costs. For what reason, the highest law of the state is the safety of its citizens. So he should no longer question whether his departure was not official," he said.
