Latest GRID figures analysis
IDMC’s displacement estimates are based on a report published by the International Crisis Group. It concerns Buddhists who have fled the ethnic and religious separatist insurgency in the South. The data upon which this estimate is based is several years old, so IDMC has low confidence in this estimate.
