Refugees International is very concerned for refugees who will not be resettled and will never be able to return. Such groups include members of religious minorities who believe they will never be safe in Iraq, and who might not be resettled because of the large size of their communities. Former members of the Baath party and those who fought in Saddam Hussein’s army are also unlikely to be selected for resettlement. For these people, return would be tantamount to a death sentence.
Make that 4 million displaced, according to the latest UN reports
ReplyDeleteI have seen the figure of 4.5 million, including the internally displaced Iraqis, from credible world sources, UN, Unesco etc.
