AbstractAngola has three to four million internally displaced persons, one of the highest per capita figures in the world. Most of the displaced persons originate from Huambo and other parts of Planalto Central, where the Ovimbundu is the dominant ethnic group. Through the experiences of displaced people, this article discusses why people flee, and thus aims to provide better understanding of the causes of their displacement, the strategies they choose and apply during flight and settlement and their identity as deslocado. The displaced population in Huambo can be divided into two groups: new deslocados and old deslocados. There are several causes of displacement, such as civil war, degradation of the land resources and displacement during the colonial period (war, forced labour, expulsion from land, etc.). The data used in this article were collected in Huambo and Luanda from November 1998 to June 1999.

The present document proposes the study of forced migration in the context of internal armed conflict and war- peace transition phases. Throughout this study, the population of refugees and internally displaced persons (hereinafter IDP) will be unified under the category of forced migrants, as both share the same necessities once they have been uprooted from their homes, and thus becomes unnecessary to divide them into separate categories. This essay will focus mainly on the durable solutions presented by UNHCR, engaging mainly in the return process of forced migrants, as it is through the return of such population that a sustainable peace will be achieved in a post conflict stage. The essay will be divided in six main chapters: (i) introduction (ii) refugees and internally displaced persons (iii) forced migration in an armed conflict (iv) refugees and internally displaced persons in a post- conflict scenario (v) case study: Colombia (vi) policy recommendations.

The aim of this research is to analyze immigration and internal displacement focusing on human rights. The analysis will concentrate on conflict induced internal displacement, causes of internal displacement due to environment change, natural disasters, which are in mostof the cases interlinked with political conflicts, causing the forced movement of families .This is an empirical research which critically will examine the changing dynamics of forced displacement and the challenges faced by affected states and the international community.More specifically, it analyzes key developments in immigration policy and practice; it re-examines the contemporary scenario around durable solutions in a context of policy issues related to internally displaced persons and stateless population.

The article systematizes the types and methods of implementing the state policy on internally displaced persons. A comparative analysis of the concepts ‘internal forced migration’, ‘displacement’, ‘evacuation’, ‘deportation’, ‘migrants’, ‘internally displaced persons’, ‘refugees’. Within the range of the state policy on internally displaced persons, the following types can be discerned: voluntary resettlement, displacement, evacuation, deportation, forced displacement. The definition of the term ‘state policy on internally displaced persons’ is offered. The essence and nature of the most massive forced displacements of the population in Ukraine from the early twentieth century to 2021 are highlighted. The objectives, tasks, methods of implementation and tools of the state policy on internally displaced persons under different political regimes are determined. The six periods of the state policy on internally displaced persons in Ukraine from the beginning of the twentieth century are identified as follows: 1) 1906-1911 – an organized voluntary resettlement of landowners aiming to remove social tension; 2) 1914-1918 – a forced displacement (expulsion) of the civilian population due to military action; 3) 1929-1933 – a forced expulsion of the population regarded by the regime as “compromised” on account of social and ethnic descent; 4) 1939-1945 – evacuation of enterprises of strategic importance for the state’s economy and security, the party and soviet establishment, and the youth of drafting age during the course of military action; deportation of the nations regarded by the regime as “compromised” (the Chechens, Ingush, Crimean Tatars, Ukrainians); 5) April 1986-1989 – organized displacement of civilian population through a man-induced disaster; 6) 2014 – to the present time – internal forced migration due to Russia’s aggression against Ukraine. The experience of implementing the state policy on internally displaced persons in Ukraine from the beginning of the twentieth century to 2021 is characterized by the use of rigid tools under the totalitarian regime, and soft tools – under the authoritarian and democratic regimes.

Forced population displacements have become part of Africa's social dynamic. Civil wars and ethnic conflicts, political unrest, failed economies, and natural disasters have generated millions of refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs) in the continent. In 2005, there were an estimated 13 million recognized refugees globally. Over twenty percent of the world's refugee population is in Africa. While the number of refugees has decreased globally, African is witnessing an increase in refugees' population in the Great Lakes Regions and Central Africa, East Africa and the Horn of Africa. In 2004, an estimated twenty million Persons were internally displaced by conflicts and natural disasters globally. The Internal Displacement Monitoring Center estimates that half of the world's displaced people live in Africa, and almost all live in states besieged by ongoing conflicts. The problems of worsening and protracted refugees and IDPs situations in Africa are not going away and there are no solutions in sight. This paper seeks to analyze the root causes of forced population displacements and specifically, the internally displaced persons in the continent and recommends salient strategies to combat the crisis. This paper generally addresses forced population displacement and focuses on the Internally Displaced Persons. However, almost all the issues addressed in this essay also apply to the refugees' problem.

This Paper discusses the issues of forced migration, asylum, and internal displacement in the context of armed conflicts, and investigates the relationship between the humanitarian crisis resulting from them and armed conflicts, especially in light of the fact that the issues of refugees and internally displaced persons have been among the key challenges that the international community faces today due to the unprecedented increase in the numbers of these groups and the dangers to which they are exposed. The Paper includes a number of subtitles, as follows: Difference between Forced Migration, Asylum, and Internal Displacement and their intersections; the legal framework and position of international humanitarian law; the impact of armed conflicts on migration, refugees, and internal displacement; and the current situation in the Arab countries suffering from armed conflicts.

ABSTRACT This article aims to contribute to an increased understanding of the importance of migration in humanitarian and ‘post‐humanitarian’ contexts, by exploring the interlinkages between protection and displacement. It argues that the strategies by which conflict‐displaced populations protect themselves are largely based on mobility. Yet, humanitarian approaches to displaced populations do not take sufficient account of the mobility needs of those they assist. Furthermore, the actual location at which aid is provided is affected by funding realities and donor priorities. This article discusses the case of protracted displacement realities of Somali refugees and internally displaced people in Kenya, Somaliland and south‐central Somalia. Based on in‐depth semi‐structured interviews and focus group discussions with humanitarian aid workers and displaced people, the article offers an analysis of the recent ‘stabilization discourse’ that fuels programming directed at the return of displaced Somalis. The authors argue that humanitarian protection is compromised by immobile aid practices and by humanitarian programmes that are guided by states’ interest in refugee return.

Since the end of the Cold War, the phenomenon of forced displacement gained more global attention. Forced displacement involves the involuntary movement of people from their habitual place of residence to a location within their country of nationality; or across an internationally recognised border. This situation in most cases exposes the displaced people to some vulnerabilities. Among other classes of displaced people, the most notable groups of concern are refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs). In contemporary time, conflict is identified to be the primary cause of forced displacement. Since 2009, the Boko Haram insurgency and the counter-insurgency by the Nigerian security forces turned northeast Nigeria into a conflict zone. The crisis has forced more than 2 million people to flee for safety within Nigeria as internally displaced persons (IDPs); while many crossed the border into countries neighbouring Nigeria from the Lake Chad region as refugees. This paper explored and discussed the suffering of the people internally displaced by Boko Haram conflict from the framework of forced displacement. It is found that, the IDPs in Nigeria suffered from multifaceted problems, ranging from the issues of inadequate life-saving assistance, protection related crisis, and the unclear prospect of achieving durable solutions. Moreover, the lack of a clear national policy, institutional, and legal frameworks in addressing internal displacement in Nigeria is found to be the prime cause of the intensification of the plight of IDPs. Thus, it is recommended that, there should be a legally backed national policy on IDPs, which should include punitive measures for corrupt humanitarian officers. Also, provision should be made for effective coordination among national humanitarian agencies. Lastly, a clear rule of engagement between the Government and the international humanitarian agencies should be clearly defined.

This article explores impact of forced displacement on internally displaced persons (IDPs) in north-eastern Nigeria. Forced displacement involves the involuntary movement of people from their habitual place of residence to a location within their country of nationality. The situation exposed the displaced people to some level or degree of vulnerability. Since 2009, the Boko-Haram (BH) insurgency and the counter-insurgency by the government forces have turned north-eastern Nigeria into a conflict zone. The violence has forced more than 2 million people to flee for safety within Nigeria as IDPs. The paper employs qualitative research methodology. Data are gathered from mainly secondary and tertiary sources. From the findings, the IDPs in north-eastern Nigeria are facing critical problems due to lack of a clear national policy, institutional, and legal frameworks to arrest forced displacement. Thus, it is recommended that, the legally backed national policy on IDPs and initiatives be strengthened. Lastly, the rule of engagement between the Government and the international humanitarian agencies be succinctly defined.
