Implementations

Internally Displaced Persons – 1995

Little progress was made in terms of resettling IDPs. According to the US State department Human Rights Practice — 1995 report, an estimated 10,000 to 18,000 Afars displaced by the civil war continued to live in Ethiopia, though not in refugee camps. The Government stated that the Afars were welcome to return, but it suspected that FRUD agitators were persuading the refugees not to return home. Afar refugees also perceived the northern region as being unsafe.1“Djibouti Human Rights Practices, 1995,” U.S. Department of State, 1996, accessed September 22, 2010 http://dosfan.lib.uic.edu/ERC/democracy/1995_hrp_report/95hrp_report_afr…

Internally Displaced Persons – 1996

Progress in resettling IDPs and Refugees was slow. The Government stated that the Afars were welcome to return. However, Afar refugees perceived the northern region as unsafe. In addition, many of the Afars’ homes and lands were occupied by Djiboutian soldiers and their families.1

Internally Displaced Persons – 1997

According to the UN Secretary General’s report (document A/52/434), the resettlment of displaced persons remained a problem and needed to be addressed through the rehabilitation of affected areas and through reintegration schemes for the returnees. The immediate need, the report states, was for the rehabilitation and reconstruction of damaged or destroyed social infrastructures (schools, dispensaries, water facilities) in all regions that have been affected by civil strife.1
