Towards durable solutions for IDPs?


Although Algeria has been affected by large-scale internal displacement caused by the internal conflict that has ravaged the country since the early 1990s, very little information is available on the current situation of the displaced and their numbers. The European Union estimated in 2002 that violence had displaced one million people, while others put the number as high as 1.5 million. According to government sources, all internally displaced people (IDPs) have returned home. However, no detailed accounts and statistics on the return have been published. IDMC is currently in contact with the Algerian Government and an update will be issued when more information becomes available.
