Young refugees play frisbee at a refugee camp set by United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) in Juba, South Sudan, Aug. 17, 2011. .Some 2 million South Sudanese people, who live in Sudan, are drawn into an actual dilemma of the identifications of nationality and identity, by the independence of South Sudan. Most of them were born and raised in Sudan's capital Khartoum. Some 330 thousand people, however, gave in their lives in Sudan and tried hard to move back to South Sudan out of their anxiety for future identifications and of their wishes for contributing to the hometown. This community was called IDP (internationally displaced person) returnees. South Sudan was one of the poorest nations worldwide after its independence, with 90 percent of its population living under the international poverty line. Most IDP returnees, who owned nothing but basic baggage and lacked land and houses to rely on, became a particularly vulnerable group of the poor country. South Sudanese government met great difficulties arranging IDP returnees. UNHCR moved their focus to aiding the IDP returnees, setting up way stations for short-term stay, offering basic living goods and transportation services, helping South Sudanese government with their planning and reclaiming waste land for refugees' settlement, JUBA, Sept. 1, 2011 © Wu Xiaoling/Xinhua/ZUMAPRESS
