-----refugees and internally displaced peoples
Introduction
This paper will detail the similarities and differences between refugee and internally displaced peoples. This project paper analysis is a comparison between Afghan refugees and African internally displaced peoples. Compare their similarities and differences. The paper will also discuss how the demographic characteristics of Afghan refugees and the locations of the internally displaced peoples of Africa have changed. All in all, this paper will explore these issues from multiple perspectives.
The Similarities and Differences Between Refugees and internally Displaced Peoples
Broadly speaking, refugees refer to those who have been displaced, displaced and need to leave their former home because of natural or man-made disasters. Refugees are narrow definition, based on a can prove founded reason, because of race, religion, nationality, as members of a particular social group, or with some political views of reason and fear of persecution and leave in its outside their home countries, and because of this fear and unable or unwilling to be protected by the country's people, or a stateless person, or countries perish, and because of the above things stay outside and now he used to country of residence, or due to the fear of not willing to return to that country. At its root, Afghan refugees are mainly caused by two conditions: one is unrest. In addition to the unrest, natural disasters are often one of the main causes of refugees. As in 1999, Afghanistan suffered a devastating drought, which caused land to crack and rivers to dry up and countless animals died of lack of water. At the same time, the decay of a large number of livestock carcasses has polluted the environment and water, and infectious diseases have been raging. People have fled from the drought and the worsening outbreak, and there have been large Numbers of refugees outside the war. As many as hundreds of thousands of people have fled their homes in western and northern Afghanistan, the worst of the disaster. Refugees are forced to flow mainly for security reasons, and security is affected by both unrest and natural disasters. Afghans because feel the security in Afghanistan cannot get basic guarantee, forced to choose to flow abroad, so, in the current situation in Afghanistan is not stable, safety protection, it is difficult to make voluntary Afghan refugees have returned home.
The term " internally displaced peoples" refers to the transfer of people from the place where they originally lived and wandered from place to place. Unlike refugees, internally displaced peoples do not have a legal definition. But according to a UN report using such a definition: internally displaced people were forced to flee their homes habitation or habits of individual or collective, the cause of the escape, widespread violence, especially to avoid armed conflict of the violation of human rights or natural disasters, and the border of the escape is not through the international recognition. As the number of displaced persons is always changing, it is difficult to accurately calculate the number of internally displaced peoples. Some internally displaced peoples are returning home, while others have fled their homes, and others have regularly returned to the internally displaced camps to receive humanitarian assistance. The situation of internally displaced peoples is widely reported, but it is difficult to assess the situation of internally displaced peoples who have fled to large towns. In many cases, information from frontline humanitarian organizations needs to be supplemented by official data. In addition, most official figures include only those displaced by conflict or natural disasters. The assessment often does not include displaced persons due to developmental causes.
Changes in Demographic Characteristics of Refugees and internally Displaced Peoples
The plight of the Afghan refugees is difficult and difficult to make a living, which directly affects the initiative and enthusiasm of the refugees returning to Afghanistan. They lack shelter and work, and in many areas their safety is not guaranteed. In addition, many farmers lost their land and became farmers without land. The causes of this phenomenon is mainly due to the years of unrest, a region of farmers after operation, most of these land was confiscated by the government of the day, redistribution, or simply by foreign refugees or early return of refugees. Thus, have caused a lot of contradictions, especially between different ethnic groups, such as between pushtuns and tajiks, because during the unrest pushtuns become the largest number of refugees, while tajiks in this process occupies many pushtuns. The conflict began to break out. Due to more than 85% of the Afghan population are farmers, so the land problem is a very important problem, how to coordinate the land problem in the future, will be an important problem of the Afghanistan, if this problem is not good, is likely to be an important cause of domestic violence continued in Afghanistan. In addition to the land issue, there are also housing issues, which are similar to the situation in the land, where there is a problem of being occupied and returned. "The conflict in Afghanistan is usually caused by land or housing problems, so the settlement of disputes over property issues will largely be conducive to the security of ahfu khan.
African internally displaced peoples face a great deal of danger when they are on the run, or even returning to their homes or resettling in different places. The number of deaths from internally displaced peoples, particularly children, the elderly and pregnant women, has often reached alarming levels. The problems are compounded by the suffering of families and communities that have lost loved ones. internally displaced peoples are usually caused by the following reasons: one is the violation of international humanitarian law in armed conflict, and the other is the failure to comply with other rules designed to protect human beings in the context of violence. Civilians fleeing conflict areas fully demonstrate that the parties are blind to the rights of civilians prescribed by the international humanitarian law, or, worse, deliberately targeting civilians. International humanitarian law explicitly banned armed conflict either side of the force civilians out of their homes, and for internally displaced people and other civilian residents the same protection and assistance from hostile action.
Conclusion
The problem of refugees is one of the hot issues that the international community is often concerned about, because the issue not only directly affects the domestic situation of the countries concerned, but also has a certain impact on the relations between countries. Attention should also be paid to the attention of internally displaced peoples, who are most in need of help. This project, through the analysis of refugees and the peoples, gives us a certain understanding of them. Learn about their similarities and differences. The change in demographics also has a certain level of understanding.
