Managing Forced Displacement in Africa
How Collective Efforts Can More Effectively Address the Surge of Refugees and Displaced Persons
Africa hosts more than one-third of the world’s refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs)—many of whom are fleeing ongoing conflicts in Somalia, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, South Sudan, Sudan, and the Central African Republic. This growing phenomenon impacts not only those fleeing conflict, but also the host communities and countries who now face complex logistical and humanitarian challenges. A comprehensive response to this problem must seek to address root causes, thereby preventing further displacement, and also find durable solutions for the many millions already displaced.
Human migration is a natural, constant process and contributes to the development of cultures and economies. But when displacement is forced—whether by violent conflict, poor governance, or environmental factors such as natural disasters or drought—the displaced often find themselves traumatized and vulnerable to physical and economic insecurity. And for those who live in refugee camps and host communities, the conditions are as diverse as the issues that drive displacement. That’s why, in acknowledgement of both the challenges of displacement and the leadership roles played by African countries that host refugees, the African Union has named 2019 the year of refugees, IDPs and returnees.
The U.S. Institute of Peace, the African Diplomatic Corps, and the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars hosted a discussion on forced displacement in Africa. The panel conversation highlighted African policy responses to displacement at the national, regional, and continental level, discuss current and anticipated challenges, and brainstorm innovative approaches.

The fourth meeting of the Advisory Committee took place from 1-3 March 2023 and served as an opportunity to shape the PDD’s next phase, post-2023 and elaborate input to the strategy review process.
The meeting allowed participants to exchange and share their latest work and ongoing or planned initiatives around the topic of disaster displacement. Above all, it provided the opportunity to plan future collaborative engagement and formulate strategic advice for the PDD’s next steps.

On 21 November, children and families who have just fled Mosul arrive in Khazir Displacement Camp, Ninewa Governorate..
.
Since 17 October 2016 more than 100,000 people - including 50,000 children - fled their homes as a result of the military operation to retake Mosul and surrounding areas from ISIL. Many are sheltering in camps in Ninewa Governorate.
UNICEF supports children and families who have just arrived in camps by providing them with emergency water and hygiene supplies through the 'Rapid Response Mechanism.'
UNICEF is also setting up and supporting schools, providing safe water and sanitation services, setting up child-friendly spaces, and vaccinating children in camps for families who have fled Mosul.
In addition to those displaced in since mid-October, tens of thousands of people were displaced by earlier operations in the "Mosul Corridor" that began earlier in the year. More than 3 million people are currently displaced in Iraq, and more than 10 million are in need of humanitarian assistance.

"This open declared war will go down as the biggest land grab ever [after Columbus], if it plays.
out as per the script. The drama being scripted by Tata Steel and Essar Steel who wanted 7 villages.
or thereabouts, each to mine the richest lode of iron ore available in India. 640 villages as per offi-.
cial statistics were laid bare, burnt to the ground and emptied with the force of the gun and the.
blessings of the state. 350,000 tribals, half the total population of Dantewada district are displaced,.
their womenfolk raped, their daughters killed, and their youth maimed. Those who could not escape.
into the jungle were herded together into refugee camps run and managed by the Salwa Judum.".
- Draft Report of the Committee on State Agrarian Relations and Unfinished Task of Land Reforms.
submitted in 2009 to the Ministry of Rural Development of the UPA, page 161.
.
As this report of the Ministry of Rural Development clearly points out, the mineral-rich areas of the country.
are increasingly turning into war-zones, with the entire state machinery engaged in an all-out mission to quell.
wide-spread resistance to `development' projects. Even as Salwa Judum contines to wreck murder and mayhem.
in Chhattisgarh, the UPA has begun the Operation Green Hunt campaign which essentially intends not just to.
replicate, but to vastly expand the scope and intensity of the Salwa Judum..
.
The Political Economy of the Operation Green Hunt.
.
The Operation Green Hunt is intimately connected, politically, with the US-sponsored national-international.
"war on terror" and economically, with the neoliberal programme of the imperialist-corporate plunder of our.
natural and human resources. The original and central arena of this military campaign is the forested regions.
spread over the states of Chhattisgarh, Orissa, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh and Andhra Pradesh. These are.
extremely rich in mineral and forest resources. The list includes bauxite in Orissa, Iron ore in Chhattisgarh and.
Jharkhand states, and deposits of uranium, limestone, marble, dolomite, tin, graphite, copper, gold, diamonds,.
corundum, beryl, alexandrite and fluorite, and possibly coal in addition to teak, hardwood, bamboo, waters of.
several rivers, wildlife and fish. The bauxite deposits alone have been estimated to be worth between US$2-4.
trillion. Big mining companies and steel manufacturers like the Mittals, Jindals, Tata, Essar, Posco, Rio.
Tinto, BHP Billiton and Vedanta signed up MoUs with respected state governments to plunder these.
resources..
.
But these regions are also home to some of the oldest communities of India, whose land the corporates are.
preparing to grab, the fifth schedule of the constitution (which forbids the alienation of tribal land) notwithstand-.
ing. As Dr. Binayak Sen puts it, "These communities have thus far survived because of a fragile and tenuous.
equilibrium that they have established with their ecosystem and which they are able to maintain because of.
their access to common property resources like land, water and forests." Activities of the mining mafia will.
destroy this equilibrium and throw the original inhabitants of the land from the accursed frying pan to.
hell-fire. A Nandigram-like situation is thus in the offing in large swathes of adivasi homeland, the so-called.
Maoist corridor or MoUist corridor. The real agenda of the Indian ruling elite was expressed by the Prime.
Minister when he told parliament on 18 June, 2009, "If left-wing extremism continues to flourish in.
parts which have natural resources of minerals, the climate for investment would certainly be affected.".
.
Leading the state-corporate crusade against the adivasis is a man whose credentials make him the perfect.
choice for the job. PC Chidambaram was a non-executive director of Vedanta - a position from which he re-.
signed the day he became finance minister in 2004. One of the first clearances he gave for FDI was to TwPi.nTs.tOar..
