Pre-Independence

Before independence the SSRRC existed as the Sudan RRC, or SRRC. This organization was an organ of the SPLM and had the authority to issue travel documents.[4] The SRRC was initially titled the Sudan Relief and Rehabilitation Agency, or SRRA, and changed its name after it merged with its rival, the Relief Association for South Sudan (RASS), a unit of Riek Machar's militias from 1991 to 2003, initially SPLA-Nasir/United and later SSIM/A, SSDF, SPDF.[5]
