这篇文章是根据一项关于自发定居的厄立特里亚难民对卡萨拉镇及其周边地区的影响的研究结果编写的，卡萨拉镇及其周边地区是苏丹东部边境地区的组成部分。主要结论是，收容地的适宜性决定了自我定居难民的生存策略。不用说，在卡萨拉地区，该地区特有的因素减轻了难民的社会经济和社会文化负担。根据这项研究的结果，所谓难民的无助被认为是一种神话。建议苏丹政府指定不同的地区-如卡萨拉地区-安置难民。苏丹政府和难民专员办事处的普遍政策是将大部分资金用于在计划的定居点安置难民，这一政策受到质疑。
The article is based on findings of a research study on the impact of spontaneously settled Eritrean refugees on the town of Kassala and its surrounding area, which are constituent parts of the border region in eastern Sudan. The main conclusion is that the congeniality of the hosting area determines the survival strategies of self-settled refugees. Needless to say, in the Kassala region, region-specific factors have mitigated the socio-economic and socio-cultural burden of refugees. In the light of the study's findings, the alleged helplessness of the refugee is considered a myth. It is recommended that the Sudanese Government designate distinct regions – such as Kassala region – for the settlement of refugees. The prevalent policy of the Sudanese Government, and also of UNHCR, to invest most of the funds for the accommodation of refugees in planned settlements, is questioned.
