The French Research Centre for Social Sciences (CEDEJ) in Khartoum and the French Centre for Ethiopian Studies (CFFE) in Addis Ababa, together in partnership with University of Khartoum, organized a scientific conference that took place in Khartoum, between 16-18 November, 2015.

The conference aimed to offer an overview of the current debate and research in the social sciences on migrations in the Horn of Africa. It focused on the recent studies conducted in the migrants’ and exiles’ areas of origins, transit and destination.
