Please refer to the attached Infographic. Key findings The majority (93%) left Sudan because of the war and insecurity, yet most (98%) couldn’t access regular pathways in their search for safety. Journeys to Morocco were often long (16 months on average) and dangerous, with most Sudanese transiting through Libya (78%) and Algeria (96%), where they faced additional forms of violence and abuse. Some 15% tried to settle in an initial destination but later moved onward to another place. Sometimes, persecution and threats targeting migrants (15%) and/or insecurity (10%) in transit countries impacted decisions to continue journeys. A majority (61%) indicated that restrictive migration policies along the way did not influence their decisions. However, these policies forced other respondents (29%) to stay longer than expected in some places, prolonging their exposure to abuse and violence. Upon reaching Morocco, 66% still intended to continue their journey, yet only 6% had made concrete preparations to travel to their next destination. Most respondents were likely to stay in Morocco for extended periods, including 19% who viewed Morocco as their destination. 79% reported benefiting from international protection in Morocco, while another 13% intended to apply for asylum. 79% of respondents reported they were unable to meet their basic needs in Morocco, particularly access to shelter (56%), food (45%), medical assistance (40%) and clothing (30%).
