    A meeting is to be held in Kassala state, eastern Sudan, next week to review implementation of the tripartite agreement between THE Sudan government, representatives of the Refugees Commission, the Eritrean government and UNHCR, the official news agency Suna said. The meeting follows the signing of the tripartite agreement signed in Asmara, Eritrea, on 15 July, regarding the voluntary repatriation of Eritrean refugees. According to the Suna report, monitored by the BBC, the number of refugees who entered Sudan in the wake of the Ethiopian-Eritrean war has exceeded 90,000.
