Description

As diplomats and activists express concern about the slow pace of logistics for south Sudan's referendum on succession, the southern government is planning to repatriate millions of refugees displaced during the civil war.

The region, which is autonomus from the central government in Khartoum, wants the refugees to vote in January's referendum.

The vote is a key part of the 2005 peace agreement that ended the war which led to 2 million deaths, according to aid agencies.

Al Jazeera's Haru Mutasa travelled to Sindirun Lugara village in southern Sudan and spoke to families who have already started returning.
