JAKARTA - The Aceh Provincial Government through the Social Service facilitated the repatriation of 26 Acehnese who were evacuated from Sudan who were already in Jakarta to their hometown in Tanah Rencong.
"Tomorrow, May 1, God willing, (repaired) by Jakarta-Medan flights, then continued by land," said Head of the Aceh Social Service Yusrizal, Sunday, May 1.
Yusrizal explained that the repatriation of Acehnese who were evacuated from Sudan was borne by the Aceh Government through the Social Service from Jakarta to Aceh.
Previously, the Acehnese who dominated the students were evacuated from Sudan by the Indonesian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Kemenlu).
"Previously they (26 Acehnese) were repatriated by the Indonesian Ministry of Foreign Affairs from Jeddah to Jakarta," he said as quoted by ANTARA.
Previously, the Aceh Government Liaison Agency (BPPA) stated that as many as 26 Acehnese who were evacuated from Sudan arrived in Jakarta and were then kept in the nation's capital before being returned to Tanah Rencong.
Head of the Aceh Government Liaison Agency (BPPA) Akkar Arafat said they arrived in Jakarta on Friday, April 28 morning.
"While in Jakarta, they will be staying at Pondok Gede Hajj Dormitory, East Jakarta, before being sent back to Aceh," said Akkar Arafat.
A total of 26 out of 56 Acehnese in Sudan were repatriated to the country, following the raging civil war in the country on the African continent.
The return of 26 Acehnese who were mostly students was flown from Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, along with 360 other Indonesian citizens. The repatriation of Indonesian citizens from Sudan was carried out in three flying groups (clusters).
BPPA is still recording the identities of the Acehnese who were repatriated from Sudan. Of the 26 people who were repatriated, there were nine adult men, 10 adult women, a child, and six toddlers.
"We received direct orders from the Acting Governor of Aceh Achmad Marzuki to continue to monitor the repatriation process for Acehnese from Sudan," said Akkar.
