Abstract

The world is currently faced with the problem of refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs). Africa and Middle East has the highest figure of IDPs. Nigeria tops the list of countries with largest population of IDPs in Africa. The Boko Haram insurgency has made Nigeria one of the flash points of high concentration of IDPs. Anchored on forced /involuntary migration theory, using primary and secondary data gathering techniques, the study examines insurgency and conditions of IDPs camps in Nigeria, focusing on NYSC camp in Girei Local Government, Adamawa State. The study finds that the condition in NYSC IDP camp is deplorable as IDPs lack access to basic essentials of life. The study recommends among others the need for the government to be more committed to the welfare of IDPs and also curb corruption of government officials in the camp as this has worsen the already deplorable condition of IDPs.

魔鬼与深蓝海之间:尼日利亚国内流离失所者营地的叛乱和人道主义状况
世界目前面临着难民和国内流离失所者的问题。非洲和中东的国内流离失所者人数最多。尼日利亚是非洲境内流离失所者人数最多的国家。博科圣地叛乱使尼日利亚成为国内流离失所者高度集中的爆发点之一。该研究以强迫/非自愿移民理论为基础,利用第一手和二手数据收集技术,调查了尼日利亚境内境内流离失所者营地的叛乱和状况,重点关注阿达马瓦州Girei地方政府的NYSC营地。研究发现,NYSC国内流离失所者营地的状况令人遗憾,因为国内流离失所者无法获得基本的生活必需品。该研究建议政府需要更加致力于国内流离失所者的福利,并遏制难民营中政府官员的腐败,因为这已经使国内流离失所者的悲惨状况恶化。
