PORT SUDAN, Sudan, Feb. 21 (Xinhua) -- In a scene where tears mingled with smiles, Port Sudan International Airport welcomed on Friday the first group of Sudanese refugees voluntarily returning from Uganda, nearly three years after war forced them to flee.
The first flight carrying them, chartered by a non-governmental committee in Uganda, touched down with 150 returnees on board, most originally from the capital, Khartoum.
